Connecting Religion, Politics and Science



Political philosophers and social scientists have overlooked (or banned) the work of Raymond Cattell and to a lesser extent E.O. Wilson, which means the trend of the social sciences toward the positivist hard sciences is incomplete and even biased. We need sociobiology and psychometric testing in the social sciences and in the humanities and in normal life. The claim that these fields overlook normal human life and are too narrowly trimmed down so that they may fit into empirical analysis or quantification is just plain incorrect.

I have included sociobiology in the religious philosophy of theological materialism and the Evolutionary Christian Church, while using anything else that seems relevant, intellectual intuition, science, ideology, political philosophy, art, etc. This philosophy looks to future evolution and science in seeking the material-supermaterial evolution of life all the way to Godhood, the God first seen and mirrored in the Inward Paths of the great religions.

I have passed over much of progressive liberalism, which often seems to reject both religion and the Enlightenment in pursuit of an anarchic or libertarian hedonism that does not relate to actual human nature or the group-selection which mainly created human civilization. I have affirmed much of paleoconservatism and classical liberalism, which includes limited government and free enterprise, but I have opposed the essentially Vedic Traditionalist School with its dream of a reactionary Arcadia or golden age before science and evolution came into the picture.
