So there's a line in the New Testament where Christ says That no one comes to the Father except through him Which is a hell of a thing for anyone to say I am the way and the truth and the life, that's another one Here's the idea: it's as if there is a spirit at the bottom of things That is involved in the bringing to being of everything People talk about evolution as a random process but that's not true The mutations are random, but the selection mechanisms are not random What are the selection mechanisms? Human females are very sexually selective That's why you have twice as many female ancestors as male ancestors So the male failure rate for reproduction is twice that of the female How is it that males succeed differentially? Females reject They rejected on the basis of what? And the answer is, well something like competence How is competence defined? Well men put themselves in hierarchies and they vote on each other's competence Let's say you decide to follow the best leader in a battle, well then you don't die Like he might get all the women, but you don't die So at least you're still in the game, and it might be the same if you're following the greatest hunter And the greatest hunter wouldn't be the person who is best at bringing down game It would be the person who is best at bringing down the game And sharing it and organising the next hunt and all of that What that means to some degree is that There's a spirit of masculinity shaping the entire structure of human evolutionary history That's what that means It's the spirit of positive masculinity that manifests itself across epochal ages, millions of years perhaps And it actually has shaped our consciousness, actually It's like the essential spirit of all the great men who defined what greatness constituted, that's a spirit Well, that's a purely biological explanation Well that's God God is the highest value in the hierarchy of values That's God. God is how we imaginatively and collectively represent The existence and action of consciousness across time That's God God is that which selects among men in the eternal hierarchy of men That's God God is what is that which eternally dies and is reborn in the pursuit of higher being and truth But then there's another possibility too which is that That's actually reflective of a deeper metaphysical reality That has to do with the nature of consciousness itself I think that's true I believe the biological case and I believe the biologically reductive case But I don't think that exhausts it There's a metaphysical layer underneath that that the biology is a genuine reflection of And that's the macrocosm above and the microcosm below We are really reflective, including in our consciousness Of something about the structure of reality itself, and that might involve whatever it is that God is Well that's God God is the future to which we make sacrifices That's God. God is the voice of conscience That's God God is the source of judgement and mercy and guilt That's God God is what calls and what responds in the eternal call to adventure
