Fusing faith and hypothesis
Thinking very broadly from the
religious or poetic worldview back to the biological or scientific
experience, one can decide if there is proof, or harmony there, when
big patterns or systems fit well with small patterns or systems, this
can then be evidence for the worldview being either correct, or in
harmony, even if parts are yet to be proven empirically, or
experienced poetically.
Faith is required to believe in ones
hypotheses, which is where science and religion, empiricism and
existentialism, analytic and continental philosophy can come
together.
My religious philosophy, theological materialism, leans toward
naturalism but respects, intuitions, faith and hypothesis. We can do better than the Augustinian idea that science and religion
cannot directly contradict one another since science can only
consider nature and God is outside of nature: Godhood
is supermaterial, not nonmaterial, so science can apply to the
examination of faith.
We are evolving to Godhood activated by
the material-supermaterial instinct of the Spirit-Will, which is then
shaped by natural evolution, this combines faith-hypothesis and
religion-science.
This is both existential-poetic and empirical-scientific religious philosophy.
