Cosmic Naturalism

A worldview that embraces the full sweep of the universe as revealed by science.

Cosmic Naturalism holds that reality is one vast, interconnected natural order. From the Big Bang to human consciousness, everything unfolds through natural processes. We are stardust thinking about stars, part of a 13.8-billion-year-old story that continues through us.

Not a church, not a religion. No rituals required. No metaphysical add-ons. Just reality, clearly seen, and life fully lived.

This is a community hub for people who enjoy philosophizing, science, the natural world, and the free will conversation — without supernatural claims or dogma.

The naturalistic sublime

Awe arises when we recognize our kinship with the cosmos: atoms forged in ancient stars now forming our bodies and minds. Wonder is real, even when the explanations are natural.

Meaning from within

There is no outside to nature. Meaning, ethics, and connection emerge from our shared reality and the relationships we cultivate.

Human flourishing

We look for grounded paths to compassion, responsibility, and freedom from illusion while still finding joy, purpose, and community.

Why this community exists

Whether you are drawn by telescope images, evolutionary biology, the science of mind, or simply a desire for an evidence-based worldview, Cosmic Naturalism welcomes you.

Here we explore what it means to live fully as natural creatures in an immense, indifferent, yet astonishing cosmos. The universe is not just out there — it is us, and we are awake in it.
