In theological materialism religion, faith, and science can legitimately unite

The alliance of faith and reason was one of the primary characteristics of the West. The Logos God, of ordered rationality,

was considered to be at the core of the cosmos by Judaic-Christianity, where reason reveals most of the truths of life but faith then completes the process.

Theological materialism takes the same position but with an evolutionary, nonspiritual, material view of Godhood, with religion affirming an ordered, rational, material, evolution to supermaterial Godhood. Having a goal to evolution---when the conventional position is a goalless random evolution---of evolving toward ascending levels of Godhood is where a slight amount of faith comes in, but it is an hypothesis that will one day be considered rational.

We can indeed immanentize the eschaton, attain Godhood directly within nature and evolution, when we affirm that evolution moves inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, all the way toward ascending levels of Godhood---science can help it along the way.
