Creating a false duality between spirit and matter unnecessarily complicates Godhood

Bradford McCall suggested in a survey of Philip Clayton's book “Mind & Emergence” (Zygon 2010) that “the Spirit is kenotically poured into creation, which onsets the long and laborious process of prebiotic evolution, leading to biological evolution toward increasing complexity. The complexification of matter, then, has its ontological origin in and through the agency of the Spirit of God. As such, the concept of creatio continua, continuing creation, is defended. The Spirit enables emergence by endowing creation and creatures with the ability to unfold by apparent natural processes according to their own inherent potentialities and possibilities." McCall said Clayton's essay “contributes to a systematic theology of creation by constructing a theological synthesis between kenosis and emergence.”

I think he had it almost right, but I have asserted that the “Spirit of God,” which I call the material activation of Tirips or the will, does not sacrifice itself in a kenosis and is not the Spirit of God but is simply the inward material activation within life always activating life to evolve in the material world to ascending levels of Godhood, while working with outward natural selection and evolution. Creating a false duality between spirit and matter unnecessarily complicates Godhood; a non-material force is not necessary and does not exist. A material world with a material or supermaterial Godhood materially evolved to brings religion and science together naturally and effortlessly, where they belong.
