What significance does classical/traditional theism have to us as a species?
Part I of II
Classical/traditional theism offers our species a commonality through eternity, a commonality through the soul.
•
There is a limit to the significance of our commonality. Under classical/traditional theism, the Causative Force does not need the universe.
More importantly to you, the Causative Force, therefore, does not need what lies within the universe, does not need you.
Under classical/traditional theism, you need the Causative Force, but that’s where it ends.
This existence is a one way street.
The bottom line is that under modern day theisms, our species has no significance other than to just exist. Some would say this is enough.
But is it?
Our species has a tendency to be depressant if it senses a lack of purpose.
As a species, we sense a need to create, be productive, advance our knowledge, and build.
