Conservative's like Pat
Buchanan and the great Russell Kirk, followed the lead of the great
Edmund Burke and T.S Eliot in basing their conservatism in the dying
spiritualism of traditional religion, so they ended up being
Jeremiahs and predictors of doom.
They had it right in
believing that no civilization has risen or lasted long without being
grounded in religion, but the spiritualism of religion has been the
main reason religion has been gradually falling.
Progressives on the left
in politics have sensed the weakness of spiritualism and have
presented themselves as new, fresh, creative, and on the side of
science, although they overlook the science of sociobiology which
rejects the lie of their universalist, globalist,
we-are-all-the-same-and-equal view of human nature.
So the creative and modern
styling of the left and their rebellion against conservatism and
against the conservative Jeremiahs and predictors of doom has
appealed to the young---and dominating the Media and the schools
hasn't hurt them either.
The evolutionary
conservatism of the philosophy of theological materialism dances to a
different tune of conservatism, taking the future in hand, which
includes bringing the evolutionary sciences within religion and
within conservatism.
We evolve in the material
world to ever ascending levels of Godhood with the aid of the
futuristic sciences, genetics included, and we will need all the
elements of conservatism to retain the best of the past as we evolve
the new, by applying an ordered conservatism. Evolution moves inevitably
in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, in a
discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and
retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, on the
path toward Godhood.
So religion remains, but
an evolutionary religion: the price for retaining a vital religion
and futuristic conservatism is replacing
spiritualism with the material evolution of life to supermaterial
Godhood.
