Why we can't expect a precision of the deepest truths
Theologians and philosophers have
preferred abstract, non-material, non-sensual, and precise definitions
of Truth and Godhood. But the reality is we cannot expect precision
when we are dealing with the general movement of material evolution.
We can discern the outlines and
patterns of evolution, such as the evolution from the simple to the
complex, or the evolution of unconsciousness to consciousness, then
from there we can discern Truth and Godhood as the zenith of these
patterns and outlines in material/supermaterial evolution.
Truth and Godhood are this way seen not
as a non-sensual, non-historical experience, but as a concrete,
material/supermaterial experience of Truth or Godhood in evolving
real life.
There is no dualism in this, there is
no “participation” between a material and a non-material abstract
Truth or Godhood, there is only the reality of concrete
material/supermaterial evolution.
Science is this way seen as an important
tool which can offer precision, say in genetic or sociobiological studies, but not precision in the deeper outlines and
patterns of Truth and Godhood.
Evolution offers this natural freedom
within determinism.
