What Is Our Conservatism Conserving?


“ By conservatism we mean conserving the best elements in our civilization.” Russell Kirk

In the Theoevolutionary Church (TC) conservatism includes sociobiology and genetics; evolution makes possible the Path to Godhood. But Ordered Evolution in culture and society is needed, not revolution. Evolution is also one of the“permanent things” that needs to be conserved if we wish to reach real Godhood, and ordered evolution requires the stability of conservatism.

Conservatism has downplayed or blocked biology and genetics mostly due to its too narrow insistence on the universal inward spirit of Christianity. Sociobiology cannot be left out of religion or conservatism.

The problem stems from the Inward Path to the God Within (universally experienced) which has religiously blocked the more local and group-centered Outward Path of evolution to real Godhood. The Twofold Path of the Theoevolutionary Church (TC) seeks to correct this imbalance.

Real Godhood in the Outward Path of evolution can be defined as containing the Absolutes of Truth, Goodness and Beauty, and these elements are not only hierarchical but discriminating, from the least of these to the best of these values.

All people, all groups, all states are encouraged to biologically and morally conserve the best of truth, goodness and beauty, in the balance of the Twofold Path.
