First, its premisses concerning society and modern man are pseudoscientific: for example, the affirmation that man has become adult, that he no longer needs a Father, that the Father - God was invented when the
human race was in its infancy, etc.; the affirmation that man has become rational and thinks scientifically, and that therefore he must get rid
of the religious and mythological notions that were appropriate when his thought processes were primitive; the affirmation that the modern
world has been secularized, laicized, and can no longer countenance religious people, but if they still want to preach the kerygma they must do it in laicized terms; the affirmation that the Bible is
of value only as a cultural document, not as the channel
of Revelation, etc. (I say «affirmation» because these are indeed simply affirmations, unrelated either to fact or to any scientific
knowledge about modern man or present - day society.)
His point was that

When Plato acted it was probably in the belief that his freedom to act could only affect a small fragment

human beings.
Thus each

Consider a partial list
of developments since just
World War II: a broad national decline in denominational loyalty, changes in ethnic identity as hyphenated Americans enter the third and subsequent generations after immigration, the great explosion in the number
of competing secular colleges and universities, the professionalization
of academic disciplines with concomitant professional formation
of faculty members during graduate education, the dramatic rise in the percentage
of the population who seek higher education, the sharp trend toward seeing education largely in vocational and economic terms, the rise in government regulation and financing, the great increase in the complexity and cost
of higher education, the development
of a more litigious society, the legal end
of in loco parentis, an exponential and accelerating growth in
human knowledge, and so on.
Gods will is for us
humans today to evolved to a level
of conciousness that will prepare us for the challenges
of our future survival, Scientists now predicts
of hardships in the future due to over population and changes to the natural environment.and that is happening now with activists through out the
world are reminding us
of protecting nature.That is why we need a phsychological revolution to hasten the evolution
of consciousness that will address the problems.Ideological and philosophical enlightenment had the past great minds to develop ideas and belief because God sent them to reality in their times.Abraham, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, and many other religious leaders to teach humanity the doctrines that God willed to be appropriate and applicable in those periods
of their existence, Also great philosophers in another dimension
of social involvement were born to interprete and connect philosophically as the second element

of our conscience is
knowledge.

knowledge, a theory such as Bohm's that gives us an intelligible account

It will be noted that, in part, this is a mere disparagement
of human knowledge: that the

MacIntyre's position is, I think, similar to his characterization
of Rosenzweig's in Edith Stein: «We do not begin with some adequate grasp
of the concepts
of knowledge and truth and in the light
of these pass judgment on whether or not we know something
of God or whether or not it is true God exists, but rather it is from our encounters with God — and with the
world and with
human beings — that we learn what it is to have
knowledge of what truth is.»

This
world of ours is a new

human race.
Weak
human nature will not let us believe in the promises
of God with a confidence that purges from the soul the anguish
of fear and unbelief, the Anfechtungen... Therefore, in Luther's discovery

knowledge, faith with the direct intuition
of an observed
world.
According to Rorty, philosophers have hoped to find a way

Consider, then, the sky and earth and the whole
world as containing animals in the way in which worms are sometimes contained in the

knowledge of entities.
«This
world of ours is a new
world,» wrote Robert Oppenheimer in 1963, «in which the unity

Hegel started from the belief that, as he said
of the French Revolution, mans existence centres in his head, i.e., in thought, inspired by which he builds up the
world of reality».2 In his greatest work, the Phenomenology
of Mind, Hegel traces the development
of mind or spirit (Geist), reintroducing historical movement into philosophy and asserting that the
human mind can attain to absolute
knowledge.
Our
knowledge of the
world gained from science suggests that it is at best indifferent to
human concerns.
He analyzes the development
of human consciousness, from its immediate perception
of the here and now, to the stage
of self - consciousness, the understanding that allows man to analyze the
world and order his own actions accordingly.3 Following this is the stage
of reason itself, understanding
of the real, after which spirit, by means
of religions and art, attains the absolute
knowledge, the level at which man recognizes in the
world the stages
of his own reason.
Challenging the freedom
of indifference with freedom for excellence is essential if we are to deploy our new genetic
knowledge in ways that lead to
human flourishing rather than to the soulless dystopia
of the brave new
world.

Griffin lists the similarities between Open free will theists and process free will theists as agreements that (a) the criteria for judging theological positions are broadly biblically based, rationally consistent, and consistent with the best
knowledge of the contemporary
world, (b) God is the supreme power and is perfect in power, (c) God created our universe, (d) God is active in nature and
human history, (e) God is a personal, purposive being involving temporality and response to the
world, (f) God is essentially love rather than power, and (g) there is salvation after death (10 - 14).
But the history
of science — by far the most successful claim to
knowledge accessible to
humans — teaches that the most we can hope for is successive improvement in our understanding, learning from our mistakes, an asymptotic approach to the Universe, but with the proviso that absolute certainty will always elude us» - Carl Sagan (from «The Demon - Haunted
World»)
Suffice it to say that the conceptuality which I accept — and accept because it seems to do justice to deep analysis
of human experience and observation, as well as to the
knowledge we now have
of the way «things go» in the
world — lays stress on the dynamic «event» character
of that
world; on the inter-relationships which exist in what is a societal universe, on the inadequacy
of «substance» thinking to describe such a universe
of «becoming» and «belonging», on the place
of decisions in freedom by the creatures with the consequences which such decisions bring about, and on the central importance
of persuasion rather than coercive force as a clue to the «going»
of things in that universe.
Partly it was simple lack
of knowledge of how thunder and lightning work and a hundred other mechanisms

human sciences.
It remains an often brilliant exploration
of the ways in which Western humanity has succeeded in creating a
world in which all values have become subordinate to the demands
of the
human will, and in which
knowledge and
human creativity have become almost entirely confused, conceptually and practically, with the exercise
of instrumental reason's mastery over all
of reality.
