Naturalizing the Western religious tradition

They discuss the concept of naturalizing the Western religious tradition with an emphasis on humans being at the center of the story and the idea of immortality. They also explore contrasting perspectives on impermanence and circularity, and how it relates to the cosmological natural selection idea. Towards the end, they touch on the topic of consciousness and its link to the influence process of life, differing on whether consciousness is tied to conscious experience or a result of a recursive process of self-modeling.
