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.
