That's a more reasonable theology, with its emphasis on evolution and transhumanism. I talk about some of those themes elsewhere. But it's sort of a red herring here unless you want to stress the dubious teleological view that the whole universe is geared towards maximizing love through human or animal evolution, as opposed to maximizing the other qualities that we express. It's inconsistent with the scientific picture of nature, which is that nature will likely have a perfectly inhuman end, so that there's no such life-centered purpose animating the cosmos.

In my writings I take a more dualistic, humanistic view, but one combined with dark pantheism.
