Saving both religion and science


Biology, or more specifically, sociobiology, has been the missing weakness of the humanities, as E.O. Wilson has been pointing out. Awhile back philosophers overlooked psychology. The weakness of religion and philosophy was to have more or less overlooked materialism, as Nietzsche and others pointed out, but the weakness of science, and Nietzsche, was to have overlooked religion.  

Theological materialism, the religious philosophy of the Theoevolutionary Church, redeems both materialism and religious philosophy with the Twofold Path. Religion joins science (at least future science) in the knowledge that the material world evolves to supermaterial Godhood. The God of the Inward Path of traditional religions is attained as the Godhood of the Outward Path of natural evolution, at the Zenith of Evolution.

Objections to this worldview come from both sides, from religion and science. Even so, we save them both.
