Endless evolution of life for theology
It would seem natural to create a
beginning (arche) and end (telos) in religious philosophy when
following the trajectory of an end and beginning to human life, but
that is not seeing the whole trajectory of human life, at least
healthy life, which continues on after the death of the parents
through the successful survival and reproduction of the descendants.
No-death for humans and for life was claimed by creating an unreal non-material
spiritualism to fit the desire. Reproduction is a better non-death
and it has the benefit of being real.
Occam's razor, or the principle that
the hypothesis with the fewest and simplest assumptions can be
selected, suggests that a non-material spiritual end to life is harder
to prove a reality than the endless evolution of material life toward
supermaterial Godhood.
The Inward Path of traditional religion to the God Within was the beginning of the spiritualism that led away from life so as to experience the God within, which was a symbolic interpretation of the feelings derived from the ascetic discipline of stopping material desires.
Following naturalistic teleology
we end up with the endless evolution of life from materialism to
supermaterialism and Godhood, which is not an end but a constantly
perfecting supermaterialism. This is the transformation of religion
seen in theological materialism, which can revive dying religion and
dying high culture in the age of science.
