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.
