92:7.1 [[Religion]] can never become a [[scientific]] [[fact]]. [[Philosophy]] may, indeed, rest on a [[scientific]] basis, but [[religion]] will ever remain either [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:3._THE_NATURE_OF_EVOLUTIONARY_RELIGION evolutionary] or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:4._THE_GIFT_OF_REVELATION revelatory], or a possible combination of both, as it is in the world today.

92:7.2 New religions cannot be [[invented]]; they are either evolved, or else they are suddenly revealed. All new [[evolutionary]] [[religions]] are merely advancing [[expressions]] of the old [[beliefs]], new adaptations and [[adjustments]]. The old does not cease to exist; it is merged with the new, even as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism Sikhism] budded and blossomed out of the [[soil]] and forms of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Hinduism], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism Buddhism], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam Islam], and other contemporary [[cults]]. [[Primitive]] [[religion]] was very [[democratic]]; the [[savage]] was quick to borrow or lend. Only with [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:4._THE_GIFT_OF_REVELATION revealed religion] did [[autocratic]] and intolerant theologic [[egotism]] appear.

92:7.3 The many [[religions]] of [[Urantia]] are all [[good]] to the extent that they bring man to [[God]] and bring the [[realization]] of [[the Father]] to man. It is a [[fallacy]] for any [[group]] of religionists to conceive of their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed creed] as The Truth; such [[attitudes]] bespeak more of [[theological]] arrogance than of certainty of [[faith]]. There is not a [[Urantia]] [[religion]] that could not profitably [[study]] and assimilate the best of the [[truths]] contained in every other [[faith]], for all contain [[truth]]. Religionists would do better to borrow the best in their [[neighbors]]' living spiritual [[faith]] rather than to denounce the worst in their lingering [[superstitions]] and outworn [[rituals]].
