Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

…ist is simultaneously “the organic center of the entire universe,” “the evolver,” and the eschatological fulfillment—the Omega Point—of all creation: “Someone, and no longer something, is in gestation in the universe. To believe and to serve was not enough: we now find that it is becoming not only possible but imperative literally to love evolution.” If one believes in God, for Teilhard, one should also believe in evolution in the Christocentric u…
