“Must we not ourselves become gods?”

Contrary to Eric Voegelin we can indeed immanentize the eschaton.

The desire for the absolute is the desire for the zenith of survival and reproductive success, which is Godhood. When we answer Nietzsche's question “must we not ourselves become gods?” we say it will happen through material and supermaterial evolution toward ascending levels of Godhood.

The vitalistic desire for the absolute or Godhood is the desire for the zenith of truth, beauty, and goodness, and is also the desire to successfully survive and reproduce. This great material, not spiritual, process of evolution is activated from within every cell of the body, demanding things like metabolism and reproduction, which then react and adapt and evolve within the various outside environments that life lives in.

This theological materialism brings the material grounding of naturalism and evolution to perspectivism and to the relativism of post modernism.
