Evolutionism

Evolutionism is a religion founded in the 21st century by Kamidere.

Its central deity is alo, the emanating cosmos

Its goal is agency which is a concept related to being able to impose an order on the world. This is a collectivistic goal.

At its core it revolves around delivering the Three Fruits to everyone, or colloquially getting everyone to Omega.

Agency is delivered to people through three methods: freeing them from death, freeing them from the nine plagues, and freeing them from Cosmic destruction.

Universalism is a critical element of Evolutionism. The idea of anyone being excluded goes extremely counter to its values, As such Evolutionism identifies itself in contrast with traditions which are exclusionary, especially on traits like race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or social class.

As an extention of universalism Evolutionism engages in syncretism with other traditions. However it is not a syncretic tradition in itself, and is fully capable of standing on its own

The only Evolutionist organization currently in existence is the Church of Evolution run by Immanuelle

Name
The name Evolutionism is meant as a direct challenge to Christianity, specifically Evangelicalism. Christian groups frequently used the term Evolutionism to refer to belief in Evolution as though it was a rival religion. By choosing the name Evolutionism Immanuelle is telling them that they have failed and a new religion is needed.

History
Evolutionism may be seen as an offshoot of John Vervaeke's religion that's not a religion which adds a renewed focus on the narrative order.

Evolutionism is currently in the stage of Evolutionism 1.0 which is primarily online, and will transition into Evolutionism 2.0 when infrastructure for it is possible.

Beliefs
Evolutionism values agency and growth highly. It believes in a cosmic principle of alo, sometimes called God, or God-Alo.

Evolutionism sees life as being a puzzle, not a struggle, and that there is always an easy way out of a problem which is often ignored. As such Evolutionism strives to avoid war and violence in favor of solving problems the easy way.

Evolutionism believes that physical mortality is a substantial obstacle towards self actualization, and as such should be abolished, and that intelligence naturally subverts itself due to the nine plagues. Escaping this subverion must be done through puzzle solving, it cannot be done through brute force.

Evolutionism focuses substantially on the Fermi paradox which is seen as the ultimate puzzle which will determine if life can survive.

The Man, Lion, and Beast

This is a group of three elements corresponding to parts of the human soul. See Plato's Lion for more info

Basically Evolutionism believes people do not naturally have the agency to guide their lives in the way traditionally thought by capitalist society, but rather rely on other people, and that capitalism attempts to cover this up to make people more easily exploited

Fundamental to the Lambda covenant is the idea that the group guides the individual out of the nine plagues

Symbol


Evolutionism uses the Sierpiński triangle as its symbol representing a recursive application of Alo at all levels

Motto
The phrase as above, so below is often used as a motto of Evolutionism to express the idea of a recursive spiritual philosophical system

Practices
Evolutionism follows a system of practices built around science and philosophy

Initiatory ethics
Ethics is seen as initiatory with gradual increases in obligations rather than something static. Initiaiton is generally seen as important with little expectations of non-initiatory practice

Marriage levels
Marriages are at three levels: omega lambda and alpha corresponding to someone's level of initiation. Coronation being Celestial initiation or Patriarchal Priesthood initiation allows for celestial marriage

The basic notion behind this is to prevent divorce by enforcing a vetting process to ensure people have the will and resources to stay married. This ensures children can be more reliably born with good lives, and as such the population will increase

Covenants
There are three covenants. Someone must join one and then wait a certain period and meet certain criteria to join the next. They are seen as cosmologically important and reflective of the nature of the universe


 * 1) Omega covenant
 * 2) Lambda covenant
 * 3) Alpha covenant

Coronation
Coronation is moving to the Alpha Covenant. It is a massive system in itself

Sangha democracy
Sangha democracy is the notion of prides locally running themselves and determining their laws. Such will be in a system based on Athenian democracy. It has three main goals.


 * Legitimization of firmlaw for individuals
 * Tailoring firmlaw to local areas
 * Raising up of the individual themselves by placing them in such debates.
