| Summary: | Scientific Naturalism has no eternal life and purpose. Tillich's existential and Whitehead's process theologies overcome the limitations of scientific “naturalism without religion.” Tillich, Wildman, Whitehead, and Bracken update the Bible's promise of eternal life as well as the meaning and goal of history. Paul Tillich's metaphor of religion as the Dimension of Depth is similar to Ursula Goodenough's Sacred Depths of Nature. She considers Tillich to be a religious naturalist. For Whitehead, the goal of the Universe is the production of beauty. “The thirst for beauty that permeates our lives is an opening to transcendence,” according to theologian Philip Hefner. |
