Gregg Henriques is a clinical psychologist and professor at The University of Madison, Virginia. This is part 1 of a 2 part discussion, in which we explore: Gregg's idea of justification systems theory and the formation of culture; the development of the human abilities to ask "why?", to share and conceal our inner states and motivations, and to explain our position in the universe; the four emergence points of Gregg's theory, matter, life, mind and culture; the origin of religion and temple building; technologies and how they inspire the theological ideas of an age; the history of premodern, modern and postmodern justification systems; the failings of modernist humanism; Bard and Soderqvist's Syntheism, and the orientation towards digital as the new face of God.
