With Einstein's reductive revolution, it became possible for natural philosophy to further clarify the issue. It is now clear, for example, that the human body is defined by genomic information literally billions of years in the making. The evolving genomic program is God's word at the biological level of organization and it drives life from the inside out.
Mapping the human genome has made the entire concept of race an exercise in nonsense. We are all more the same than different, we all have common origins, and we do have intertwined destinies in the interest of humankind. The notion that one's genes dictate what and how and why one thinks is simply ludicrous. If that were true, that our behavior is hardwired, we wouldn't need science or religion or teachings of any kind.
With God on the human inside, Deism restricts itself to those dialectic human values with spiritual content as it restricts itself to the pancultural scientific knowledge base in the interest of Godliness.
Deism sees Honesty and Compassion as akin to Godliness, Truth as the word of God. Deism sees Creativity and the pursuit of Quality as akin to Godliness. Deism sees Conceptual growth and Spiritual growth as one and the same.
