Naturalistic pantheism

Naturalistic pantheism, also known as scientific pantheism, is a form of pantheism. It has been used in various ways such as to relate God or divinity with concrete things,^[1] determinism,^[2] or the substance of the universe.^[3] From these perspectives, God is seen as the aggregate of all unified natural phenomena.^[4] The phrase has often been associated with the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza,^[5] although academics differ on how it is used. Natural pantheists believe that God is the entirety of the universe and that God speaks through the scientific process.
