Catholic here: we have our own internal disputes with Teilhard. He’s part of the “modernist” heresy for us that Pope Pius X tried to squash (unsuccessfully, Pascendi Domini Gregis is the encyclical https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius10/p10pasce.htm and Lamabili Sane goes along with it https://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10lamen.htm). Near as we can figure, the idealists wearing the enlightenment suit tried to subvert the Church by means of rationalist biblical criticism, which led to an overreaction by the Church authorities, causing it to go underground and spread through the seminaries. This led to the takeover at Vatican II. Actually, it’s a fascinating parallel to the secular long march through the institutions.

So, Alexandria got a foothold in Athens, then made Athens look like it was attacking Jerusalem to get a foothold in Jerusalem too.

"Vistas such as these, I know, do not appear to come within the Christian perspective." Yeah, no shit, you heretic.

Thank you for giving us something "outside the box" to think about. It is impossible to imagine that Teilhard, the scientist, the seer, could have knowingly participated in the Piltdown hoax ;) https://www2.clarku.edu/~piltdown/map_prim_suspects/Teilhard_de_Chardin/Chardin_defend/begouenonTeilhard.html It is very astute of you to notice the way Chardin fails to acknowledge the significant impact a cataclysm would have on the geologic record (45:15) and the difference in geologic time involved in the strata formation. Thank you for pointing it out.

Excommunicated and Defined As: "And although you will not find many mainstream biologists who will stand up and cheerlead for scientific racism, it is an odd fact that you can have a career in science as a racist, but not as a creationist...if you promote creationist ideologies, you are excommunicated and defined as outside the boundaries of science" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.22163

I'm about 18 minutes. In all of this stuff, the one thing I still don't understand is HOW they claim the contradictions will "work themselves out."

Through the Hegelian dialectic of course. Except that it isn't a process of resolution as it once was under Plato. Instead under Hegel it's actually more of a process of destruction. They still label it as a way of resolving and even transcending not just conflicts but physical reality itself - but that's just a ruse. It's really a process of destruction and that is quite intentional as they are mitigating dualists. Which is a nice way of saying that they hate the physical world. So for them destruction IS a resolution and IS "progress".

Yes, but after the destruction something better is supposed to be underneath. But they never explain that part.

Not really underneath. More like above. Because to them our physical world with all its societal constructs and moral and religious institutions has kinda obscured the "true" divine "Source". And of course they don't explicitly and in detail explain those more esoteric aspects to people who don't believe in their religion. But if you do wanna understand it in more detail, just watch James Lindsay's lectures on Gnosticism.

I think I've watched all of them. I hear his voice in my sleep, LOL!
