This is becoming ridiculous! There is a general and very populous tendency that could without doubt be called "Christian Evolutionism" as a reaction against the creationists, except it is huge, it evokes very little media interest, and it is unorganized. Read this:

Oddity[edit]

Christian Reconstructionism

Smartness[edit]

  • Confabulation - this article provides a model for memories! The link to religion is weaker, the link to cults is presumably very strong.

Adopted[edit]

Criteria[edit]

Use the so called Wesleyan Quadrilateral (belongs to Outler) with extensions as valuation criteria:

1. Scripture the Holy Bible solascripturaness
2. Tradition the two millennia
history of the
Christian Church 		high churchiness
3. Reason rational thinking
and sensible
interpretation 		liberal-theologicanism,
hermeneutics,
scolastic and
their kin
4. Experience a Christian's personal
and communal
journey in Christ 		low churchiness
5. "orthodoxy"
6. "milleroidism" logic, proofs and discourse

The malformed WP:OR should be modified to propone original-research-like reasoning on the talk pages, whenever necessary to reach consensus, otherwise WP:OR is necessary on the article in order for WP still being an encyclopedia.

Catechisms[edit]

Dunno know whattodo, but maybe find and compare the theologies:

Truth[edit]

  • Pragmatism, means that truths are accepted acc2 what works in a certain context – or, say, given a certain context, if a saying provides relevant, usable and correctly working information, then it is true in that context;
  • Agrippa the Sceptic, thought that he disproved knowledge, but instead implies the global circularity of knowledge and the infinity of implication chains: this is just the web of the human knowledge base; and using fuzzy logic, this global web of knowledge is orientable and practically navigable;
  • Two Dogmas of Empiricism, a "debunking" of Empiricism that propones a holistic truth;
  • Theory of justification, measures on what constitutes reliable and not reliable arguments for proponing a statement (true or not); most relevant:
  • Social constructionism, the methods with which we construct our image of reality: of proofs, conventions and accepted methods; partially true, but missing the point unless holistic implication webs and fuzzy logic is used; in order to define (not prove!!) a truth model, one may follow two pseudo-circular forms:
  • from an axiomatic model of the truth web, derive a proving scenario (X says U->V to Y, Y does U, V follows, Y observes V, Y conceives U->V to be a true statement, etc.),
  • from an informal proving model scenario indicate rhetorically/logically that it is reasonable to believe that correct acts is the most reasonable effect of using that model scenario as a pattern for "proofs".

Practical truth[edit]

Religion is an apparatus that regulates the individuals behaviors and choices ― in the best of worlds this apparatus is in the control of the individuals themselves, given a cultural least common denominator that is provided to ensure the necessary collective/cultural flow of impulses for the individual to use in his/her self-administered personal growth. Relation between religion and science is a determining factor for the evolution of a society, lack of religion fragments and lead to collapse in bloody civil wars, lack of science leads to a primitive backward society that slowly declines to extinction.

Reading list: Rediscovering Arabic Science by Richard Covington. List to follow:

  • Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, the inventor of algebra and algorithms (i.e. placing him level with Euclid and Newton), Persian (ca800),
  • Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf ibn Maṭar (ca830), the translator of Syntaxis into Almagest, and also of Euclid,

  • Abū al-Wafā' al-Būzjānī Persian mathematician/astronomer (940–998),
  • Pope Sylvester II French mathematician/astronomer (ca950-1003) - note the "Christian" habit to blackpaint scientists as sorcerers, something still remaining in the fringe "Christianity" of literal-interpreters (but see [2 Cor 3:6] about literal interpretations, this clause, given the full New Testament context, declares literalism "Death", i.e. "Christianity without resurrection", which by Christian doctrines is not Christianity, and as far as I've heard from a jew friend, not Judaeism either),
  • Ibn Yunus Egyptian astronomer (950-1009), Zij al-Kabir al-Hakimi,
  • Alhazen Persian (ca965-ca1039), Shi'a,

Angels of Mons[edit]

Angels of Mons is an incredibly interesting article on what motivates people to make moral sagas, and what factually occurred.

Fundamentalism[edit]

Fundamentalism, as I define it, is an idiosyncracy against applying intellectual methods in biblical and religious reasoning. In the first and earliest definition by those who coined "fundamenta" and called themselves "fundamentalists", the hate-phrase was "liberal theology", and they deliberately misrepresented it's meaning to get a rhetorical twist to their own "position". Fundamentalism is not based on specific fundamenta, it is based on randomly picked fundamenta, and a general labelization of everything else as evil. It is systemic psycho-split.

Virashaivism[edit]

Gnosticism[edit]

Gnosticism is essentially a marketing label: "we know it all!". They subdivide as:

  • True gnostics: 1. only the pneumatics will be saved, 2. the evil universe cannot be reformed, 3. the gnostic "knowledge" is necessary for liberation from the evil universe, 4. good acts are to no avail,
  • Hoellerite quasi-gnostics, using the scriptures but not the gnostic cosmology,
  • The "occult" block:
  • Spiritualist new-agers, f.ex. thelemists
  • Magicians around the faulty samaritism-as-gnosticism theory,
  • Crowleyans
  • Pseudo-gnostics, digging into the life force, but not using gnostic cosmologies,
Pseudo-gnostics
Hoellerites
  • Stephan A. Hoeller - the non-political truth-speaking symphathetic scholar of modern Valentinian Gnosticism par excellence, associated to Ecclesia Gnostica, that nicely enough have a concept of making the world a better place,
"Occult" block
  • The Gnostic Movement - a business site teaching common spiritualist new-ager concepts, where the gnosis went I don't know,
