I suppose we should keep in mind that Teilhard was against ALL forms of propaganda and manipulation of opinion. It is very odd from here in the UK. America...
Hi everyone, Like Rob, I too am adamantly against all forms of manipulation, and unfortunately, I see some of that in some of the information quoted from ...

Hi Stephen, Once again you give us good food for thought. As you may have noticed in my last post, I gave a hint of Teilhard's viewpoint when I said he would...

Dear All, I am sorry to mark my return after a while to the Teilhard Group with a post that is rather stern and critical, for reasons that will become obvious...
Spectators would not remain seated, quietly watching a circus, if elephants were permited to invade the audiance. Likewise, a nihlist extremism results when...
Dear Stephen, This does not answer any of Alecs points, which seem to me quite obvious and self-evidently true. From the obscure way in which you write I gain...

Hi Stephen, It would indeed be interesting to hear from our Teilhard eGroup members about the debate of Teilhard's views in the schools. During my time as...
Hello everyone, The present discussion, on the list, concerning Evolution vs. Intelligent Design is, it seems to me, proving to be both interesting and...
Hello Eveyone, What do people want to be taught in schools? Do they understand enough about basic evolution? Although I haven't read the article as yet in...
If we can accept the idea that there is a Creative Intelligence expressing in, through and as the entire Universe and everything in it, then might we not ...
Hi Raymond, I have taught Evolution in connection with the study of authentic French History manuals in both the public highschools and at the university ...
Dear everyone, I can't understand why there is such a discussion about intelligent design. Evolution is going on, directed by the laws of nature, and nobody...

Dear Stephen, As you suggested, I have read your paper. I do not think it answers the points Alec made, nor does it make a real response to Dawkin's. And...
... It is true that the paper probably does not answer Alec's questions, but only "Alec" can find those meanings, and as such that is perhaps beyond the scope...
Our understanding of the world achieves a much greater coherence if we altogether do away with this idea of an imaginary entity "macro and micro-managing" the...
Just because God evolves out of us doesn't mean God ain't God! The Omega Point IS the God of the Jews, of the Christians of the Muslims, of everybody. Do you...
