The problem of reconciling science and religion comes down to reconciling the spiritual and the material

Conservative's rightly talk about reconciling permanence and change but they have not reconciled science and religion other than to say that they are both right in their own worlds and therefore cannot be reconciled. That avoids responsibility. Politicians are often known for passing the buck like that.

The problem of reconciling science and religion comes down to reconciling the spiritual and the material, and here again conservative's pass the buck. The spiritual world has an unapproachable permanence for conservatives, they hang on to spiritualism and have not reconciled it with materialism even though that non-reconciliation is the main reason for the decline of religion.

Theological materialism is not built on the ruins of traditional religion, as modern thinkers did with science and the humanities, the Twofold Path renews the building and does not tear it down. This rebirth is done as the God-Within, the Father-Within, is understood as the first glimpse or the mirror of ascending levels of Godhood reached through material and supermaterial evolution. This revelatory insight was not done simply to retain Christianity and it was not done to respect the conservative thinkers who see the great value for life in permanent traditions, it was done to affirm reality. Theological materialism and the projected Theoevolutionary Church seek to revive both religion and science after modern life could not legitimately apply them as a satisfactory guide to life and truth.

The inward God of the beatific vision of Christianity, or the Samadhi in Hinduism, was/is an ascetic peak material experience exaggeratedly described as a spiritual union with God, brought about by ascetically overcoming (blocking) all material drives. The inward God first seen in the traditional Involutionary Inward Path is only a transvalued mirror of the real Godhood reached by material and supermaterial evolution, not the other way around. Theological materialism brings forward in reconciliation the sacred goal of attaining ascending levels of real Godhood by way of the material and supermaterial Evolutionary Outward Path.
