Why and how religion is not destroyed by the evolutionary sciences

Anthropologists and sociobiologists think that once the evolutionary origins of religion are understood religion will disappear. I say, not so fast. We evolve in the material and supermaterial world to Godhood, thus religion not only continues after sociobiology, sociobiology can be an aid in our evolution toward Godhood.

The rules of ethics constructed by evolution expand to religion with the teleological goal of Godhood. Modern life and postmodernism, including the media, government, education, business, religion, law and the arts can be defined as decadent now because they have largely rejected any teleological or sacred purpose for life.

But in defining goals and ends we do need to go beyond the bare facts of survival and reproduction expressed by the evolutionary sciences, we seek to survive successfully for the deeper reason, the sacred cause, of evolving to the zenith of survival success, which is Godhood.

Having a “personal relationship with God” has been a symbolic communion with the God or Father within human nature, the soul or mind, and not the real Godhood we can attain through material/supermaterial evolution. In the Twofold Path we can conservatively retain that Inward God of the Involutionary Inward Path but transform it in the Evolutionary Outward Path to real Godhood.

This theological materialism unblocks the Great Spiritual Blockade of evolution to real Godhood, which can even help unify religions, but also unite the long separated sciences and religions.
