How dangerous it has been to human
history, and human evolution, to give such power and right to a
non-material, non-object, beyond-nature, misinterpretation of God,
which often led to hating nature and material life.
Both Godhood and man bend to the laws
of nature. Godhood is not seen as beyond nature, which could imply
beyond good and evil. The imperatives of nature, the right, power and might
of nature should not be seen as evil if even Godhood is subject to
its laws. Nature does not overthrow morality, nature created morality. A higher level of Godhood
might monumentally manipulate nature but that is not creating nature.
This perspective gives more weight to
investigating nature, and the laws of nature. Rationality, science
and philosophical naturalism can enter religion. Theological materialism says that we evolve to Godhood materially and
supermaterially, and the mystery of defining Godhood is gradually
resolved as we evolve higher and higher intelligence, truth, beauty
and goodness. This is honorable to life, truth, and evolution. It is respectful of Godhood itself not to make of God an airy nothing.
