Both traditional religion and scientific materialism are unfinished or incomplete systems

The God of traditional religious morals dwells in the non-material spiritual, and scientific materialism dwells in a material world without God. Both are unfinished or incomplete systems. 

Religion's claim that without religious morals we cannot rise from the earth or the beasts, but then religion's reject the centrality of material evolution which keeps religions on earth blocked from the reality of the ongoing evolution of life toward real Godhood. Scientific materialism tends to reject religious morals and spiritualism, which religion's claim keeps men chained to the earth unable to rise to the religious version of a non-material spiritualism. 

The way out of this metaphysical dilemma is to see continuing levels of Godhood as evolved to in the material and supermaterial world. Then religious morals and scientific materialism can truly rise from the earth and the beasts. 

Both traditional religion and scientific materialism need to affirm that evolution moves inevitably in a pattern---even though it has random elements---and that pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, "toward higher and higher more effective living forms," as Cattell put it, always evolving toward continuing levels of Godhood.
