Unitheism, hylotheism, pantheism, etc. are just words. ... Evidence-based science is the best way that we have to distinguish what is real from what we imagine to be real.
I agree, Acitta. This why I also agree that we need an
evidence-based theology The holos, which includes the cosmos, is real enough to be explored by any scientist interested and with the skill to do.
By the way, recently--on The CBC's, The Current--I heard a professor emeritus (of medicine) of McMaster University. He spoke about the need for evidence-based medicine.
He said: "We need more and more medicine-based medicine. Then he went on to point out and illustrate how: Much of the practice of modern medicine is NOT evidence based."
BTW, since holotheism includes the cosmos, I see it as evidence-based theology.
