The Theology of Man Like Darwin, Teilhard, a palaeontologist, was condemned for his writings on evolution. Their books were banned. But the human Church reverses its errors of decades ago. For in truth, evolution proves rather than disproves the Theology of Creation. Teilhard was consequently proclaimed as one of the greatest theologians of the century. Teilhard went beyond Darwin, saying physical evolution is followed by the evolution of consciousness at the birth of Man, which he calls noosphere. He talks of the ‘convergence of consciousness’. He predicted that all human consciousness from amoeba to Man thru eons of evolution will ultimately converge towards Christ. He says the Cosmos is ‘Christo-centric‘. in death, as in an ocean all our slow or swift diminishments flow out and merge towards the Lord teilhard de chardin SJ x

The phenomenal leap of this convergence is manifested today in the Internet, people from everywhere in the planet in electronic communion with each other from their bedrooms and dining tables. E-prayer groups and Facebook bring people together. The power of the Internet is in its ability to explode instantly worldwide. When a prayer campaign for a fallen hero goes viral, a million Hail Marys flood the entire planet at the blink of an eye
at the blink of an eye across the entire planet
a million candles mimic the coming dawn
like countless stars illuminating the night
like a super-nova illuminating the galaxy
internet is an ‘explosion’ of human consciousness
which brings together the people of the Lord
who is the center of the known Universe
convergence and divergence of consciousness all in one
the Lord reigns in cyberspace

ptolemy said the earth was the center of the universe
copernicus said it was the sun
then astronomers later discovered
that the sun is a mere speck in the galaxy
and later that our galaxy is a mere dot
in the billions of other galaxies
einstein said the universe had no center
if one travelled on a straight line
one would be back where he started
finally de chardin said Christ
is the center of the known Cosmos,
Creator of all that is, Savior of all of Man
it was a leap of a paleontologist to a theologian
chardin said Jesus is the true center
of the vast mysterious universe
everything flows from and into Him
Who permeates all that is
the views of darwin, einstein and de chardin
are one and the same
one is of physics the other of metaphysics
