Résumé
There are many different understandings of God. This is evidenced by the multiplicity of faith groups and the variety within them. Has this situation come about because God has a communication problem ? Many of these groups claim that their own particular view is the only True and authentic understanding and thus everyone else is wrong. They behave and speak accordingly. This has, and still does, cause a range of harms.
From personal guilt and shame to physical harm, torture and war. By demonstrating the evolutionary nature of knowledge, using science, philosophy and cosmology as exemplars, I suggest that similar processes also apply to understandings of God, faith and the scriptures. Using Evolution as a paradigm for change suggests that the different understandings of God are an inevitable consequence of the way God has set things up, not because of a breakdown in communication.
Thus, we should embrace difference. Acceptance of this analysis leads to a radically different attitude. It means that no one faith can claim a monopoly on "The Truth" and we should accept the legitimacy of other understandings whilst acting and worshiping together as though there are none. Such a change in attitude is needed for everyones' sake and the future of the world.
