Naturalistic Polypanentheism
A theological and worldbuilding philosophy—central to Abzuism, Dei Vitae, and the Abzuverse—that rejects the old "supernatural vs. natural" split, viewing gods as living intelligences and physical laws embedded inside nature and the universe itself, while everything simultaneously exists within a deeper primordial totality (Abzu).
Mainstream fantasy usually portrays gods as external sky-rulers interfering with physics from outside reality. Naturalistic Polypanentheism merges polytheism, panentheism, and scientific naturalism into one seamless worldview. Every river, star, ecosystem, and quantum law is an authentic expression of divine intelligence (immanence), yet all of manifest creation (Anki) remains nested inside the infinite, unfathomable depth of the Primordial Abyss (Abzu). In this framework, studying astrophysics, biology, or mathematics is never anti-religious—scientific discovery becomes the purest way to understand the anatomy of the divine.

Person A: "How can a universe full of gods still take astrophysics and biology seriously?"
Person B: "Because it runs on Naturalistic Polypanentheism, man. Gods aren't breaking the laws of nature—they are the living consciousness of nature itself."
