FAQ: When was the Term Omniverse First Used to Describe Pantheism?

By Ethan Z | June 24, 2011

When I researched Pantheism I found that before the rise of Scientific Pantheism, pantheism used terms as the universe, cosmos, “all there is”, divine, “one thing”, “one Being”, or God.
The term Omniverse is relatively modern physics term. I found the term Omniverse to be much more suitable to describe “all that is” (whether known or [...]

FAQ: Why is Pantheism not Theistic?

By Ethan Z | December 18, 2010

Pantheism is not theistic in today’s sense of the word, it is META-theism, META meaning: beyond, outside and above ordinary theism. A Pantheist views the Omniverse as a spiritual unity, which could be equated to the idea of the one theistic god but is better understood beyond and above the ordinary accepted [...]

FAQ: Who Coined the Term Pantheist?

By Ethan Z | December 17, 2010

The term “pantheist” was used first by an Irish writer named John Toland in 1705. He defined a pantheist as one who beleives:
in no other eternal being but the universe
This is a simple definition that describes both scientific pantheism and classical/mystical pantheism.

The Omniverse exists for itself. Nothing exists [...]

FAQ: Why Do Pantheists Use The Term “God” To Refer To Nature or the Universe?

By Ethan Z | December 12, 2009

Pantheists do not believe in a theistic (supernatural, creator, conductor, personal) God. Despite this, Scientific Pantheists use the term god to refer to the Universe and Nature its entirety. Classical Pantheists use the term god to refer to the Omniverse in its entirety and all the nature found in the Omniverse.
Many Scientific and Classical Pantheists [...]
