      In the beginning God created the Heavens and Earth... He created Adam in His image, full grown, on Day 6 of the creation week.
    • 4/5
      Some scientists whose opinions I very much admire had led me to believe this book to be yet another mishmash of unscientific fantasies and sentimental gobbledygook. I now think that this book was ahead of its time, in fact, still ahead of our time, and that science will eventually vindicate Teilhard's vision, maybe not in every detail, but certainly in the broader scope and scale of his picture of how evolution has unfolded and will unfold in the future. Yes, I think Teilhard was biased by his personal history with Christianity and the church, and so forgive him for his religious diversions, but if you can get over that, and understand that he was dealing with incomplete science and extrapolations, I think one could find his vision convincing.

      de Chardin is going to be proven right in the next few years. His idea of human conciousness becoming the "noosphere" or the thought sphere of earth by combining and filling the earth is being talked and written about right now by very serious people.

      827 The Phenomenon of Man, by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin English translation by Bernard Wall (read 30 Oct 1965) I found this a most significant book, but felt my comments on it would not be memorable so I recorded them not. But I do remember being totally awestruck by the soaring conclusion.
    • 5/5
      A great, thoughtful, treatise on, well, mankind as a phenomenon of nature.
    • 3/5
      This is an overly convoluted work that tries to take theology and evolution and combine them in a philosophy that sees man continuing to develop into a union with the universe. It's much more sophisticated than anything like "Intelligent Design," and yet it relies too much on logical conjecture rather than science.
