Chardin’s Mystical “Omega Point”

The Franch Jesuit paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin believed the world was evolving towards a mystical “Omega Point”. As an evolutionist he spent his life trying to reconcile science and religion. He believed in a personal God but God as directing the universe with loving, watchful care; and God the revealer, communicating himself to humans on the level and through the ways of intelligence.

God shall be all in all, as prophesied by St. Paul:

“The Universe fulfilling itself in a synthesis of centres in perfect conformity with the laws of union. God, the Centre of centres. In that final vision the Christian dogma culminates…perfectly coinciding with the Omega Point”:

The Phenomenon of Man (1955)
