"Is faith in God and a belief in evolution possible, in a practical way? Can we each seek a deeper sense of a universal self & God, by re-framing our minds electro-chemically stimulated metaphors of theology, mythology and cosmic unity? Is an objective and rationally scientific view of the cosmos and humanity, fundamentally different from the esoteric views of religion and spirituality? Is an exploration of the chemical nature of evolution a denial of Christianity and God, or a search for the realization of God and the Cosmos inside us? For example: "In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." See: John 1 (King James Version) Are these lines from the Christian bible about a God as creator of the universe or do they speak in metaphor about the birth of a cosmic consciousness in our species? A cosmic consciousness, through the evolution of an increasing chemical complexity, resulting in the birth of the word and language, in our human species? A sentient species spawned within a chemical, cosmic womb? In the near future will thinking in terms of one chemical organism change our relationship with the Universe, ourselves and each other? Are the Christian bible and other creation stories, a mixture of objective history and unconsciously stimulated metaphors of existential meaning? Are our world wide creation stories and heroic legends, about our struggle for mature self-awareness, and an acceptance and understanding of what we are, as a manifest cosmic sentience? Its difficult to grasp, via our minds conscious awareness and our taken for granted use of everyday language. Perhaps even impossible to truly grasp the reality of a cosmic oneness, of no separation? Yet this is exactly what our most advanced science is increasingly proving, as the foundation of ALL reality. Perhaps such a sense of reality will always be a matter of faith and trust in our beliefs, as we continue to expand our right-brained sense of intuition and our left-brained knowledge of objective details, to put it rather simply?" _David Bates. 2020-realization.blogspot.au/2013/01/redefining-god-cosmic-chemistry-of-love.html
