Knowing Godhood through evolution
Traditional theology says
that God is not knowable by human concepts, but theological
materialism says that with reason and imagination we can better know
what Godhood may be like by looking at the evolution of life from the
simple to the complex, from unconsciousness to consciousness, from
the material to the supermaterial, and then extrapolating from there
what supermaterial and superconscious Godhood may be like. “Faith”
and subjective experience can then have a better foundation. The
sticking point comes in asserting that Godhood is
material/supermaterial and not spiritual and that Godhood is evolved
to in the material world.
The good news is we can
aid in this evolution toward ascending levels of Godhood. We
are already shaping where the next generation wants to go, parents are already using testing and screening, genetic
counseling, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and genetic
engineering, and we can move on from there, as the deceitful
paralyzing of eugenics begins to wind down.
This
real Godhood can give religion back to us, this time with the aid of material
science, and it can bring back the classical idea of total art works
synthesizing all we know. That is a high culture that can save us, worthy
of attaining.
