Science As Natural Theology
Religion
Imagine creating a list of all the gods and goddesses worshipped
over the centuries, in Greece and Rome, in India and in China,
on the two American continents, in Africa, and elsewhere. The list would include thousands of names.
Unless we believe all those gods and goddesses genuinely exist, we must regard
at least some of them as fictions.
Such a prolific invention of gods and goddesses might cause us to wonder
if we should regard the various gods and goddesses worshipped today as fictions, too.
But it might also lead us to wonder if an obscure intuition of some reality motivates those inventions.
How might we construct an accurate (or, at least, more accurate) picture of that reality?
We should start with what we know, with solid fact; we should begin with the knowledge we’ve collected,
refined and repeatedly verified over the centuries. In other words, we should attempt to dispassionately
infer the theological consequences, if any, of science.

The Spiritual Guide of Miguel de Molinos, a Catholic priest, was written
in 1675. Says one website: "So powerful was its
influence on Europe that within 6 years of its release this book
had been translated into every language in Western Europe. In Naples,
Italy it was said that 20,000 Christians gathered in small groups
to practice inward prayer." Molinos was eventually imprisoned by the Catholic
Church and his book supressed. It was long out-of-print.
