I see a Primal Material and an activating supermaterial Spirit-Will always together defining life, with the Spirit-Will within life activating life in the universe to evolve to supermaterial Godhood, shaped by outside evolution.

Reasonable faith in a teleological system
The teleological argument
does not necessary mean that the universe was designed by a
super-intelligent being, the theory of evolution can explain how
populations over great time can evolve parts that fit together like a
machine in the inter-survival of nature.
The general evolutionary
direction of life from the simple to the complex seems to infer the
eventual evolution of life to super-complex, supermaterial Godhood,
even though life often falls back or devolves. Can we see purpose in what seems to be the endless action of big-bang origins (or any other
explanation of the origin of the universe)? Some universes may not
even have the conditions for life in them. Why does this keep
happening over and over again, as if trying to get it right?
I see a Primal Material and an activating supermaterial Spirit-Will always together defining life, with the Spirit-Will within life activating life in the universe to evolve to supermaterial Godhood, shaped by outside evolution.
Science rightly
needs to know of the conclusion before it can know if the premise is
true, like a dog chasing its tail. Although science, as best as I can
do science, is the ground of my thinking, I can proceed on reasonable
faith in a teleological system, even if science, dragging behind,
will not yet go there.
Alas, neither religion nor science are happy with this worldview.
