| Summary: | In this paper I engage with the arguments of Andrew Davis’s book Metaphysics of Exo-Life, which is a commentary on my previous work on cosmotheology. I applaud Davis’s critique and deepening of my work in the context of Whitehead’s process theology. I largely agree with his metaphysical deepening of the first three principles of my cosmotheology, dealing with the non-centrality of humanity in the universe and its metaphysical re-centering. But I diverge on his view of the last three principles dealing with the metaphysical necessity of God, the source of value in the universe, and the nature of human destiny. |
