Theological materialism defines human evolution toward Godhood as aesthetically evolving toward the beautiful, religiously the good, and philosophically and scientifically the true

The synthesis of theological materialism defines human evolution toward Godhood as aesthetically evolving toward the beautiful, religiously the good, and philosophically and scientifically the true.

Nature can be defined as divine, not demonic, without the fiction of spirituality when we can see that nature only looks like an endless war of all against all for success in survival and reproduction and nothing more, until we affirm that we are also aided in evolution by an inward, purely physical activation to materially evolve toward ascending levels of life all the way to Godhood, which works along with the shaping of outside evolution and selection. 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.” (Cattell)

Materially evolving toward ascending levels of Godhood is how we can define nature as divine not demonic and how we can see beyond the idea of morality in nature having no other demonstrable ultimate function than, as Edward O. Wilson put it, being a circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact. We are materially evolving toward Gods and we should help it along the way. Qualities such as intelligence, emotional stability, conscience (altruism), good health, good sensory organs, longevity, these are some of the aims of eugenics, and these things reach their highest quality, or their zenith, as evolution moves toward Godhood, which is aesthetically the beautiful, religiously the good, and philosophically and scientifically the true.
