Show Notes
In this episode Chris brings us Opinion Scholarship on the legendary Jesuit priest and anthropologist--Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. We explore his landmark book "The Phenomenon of Man" and through it his theistic (and yet heretical) model of evolution. We begin from the moment of Creation, from the Big Bang, and walk through the process of the universe up to the rise of mankind and his unique expression of consciousness. Then the fun begins! We explore Chardin's vision of the direction of evolution, the nature of consciousness and speculations about what the next stages of evolution will bring. Spoiler alert, it's God...the culmination of evolution is the actualization of the divine!
Enjoy ;)
