Connecting Cosmology, Evolution and Spirituality
Many cosmologists and theologians have tried to merge, harmonize, or connect science and religion. We will discuss some of the main thought pathways with most emphasis on the work of Pierre Teilhard du Chardin, an early 20th century Jesuit Priest, theologian and paleontologist. He is best known for his work on the concept of the Noosphere, a postulated sphere or stage of evolutionary development: “creatures evolve: a new biosphere emerges, and with it a new noosphere”. While this may seem to be an esoteric topic, at its core, it suggests what changes may be necessary in humanity’s world view to assure the survival of future generations.
Facilitated by Terry Welsher
Belief Explorers is a group of curious people interested in the wide variety of spirituality and beliefs. We meet from 12:30 – 1:30PM on the 2nd Sunday of each month, both online via Zoom and in-person. Each month we explore a book, religion, person, or concept chosen at the previous meeting. Meetings are open to all UUCG members, friends, and visitors.
