As a student, I was very persuaded by that old French theologian, teilhard de chardin, who wrote a book called the phenomenon of man, which is...Pretentious gibberish,, but it fooled me when I was a student.
Not that I agree with him. It just makes me smile.
- lo_zamoyski 4y agoMy understanding is that Catholic theologians generally don't hold old Teilhard in high esteem either, to put it nicely. Not that Dawkins is some grand intellect himself, especially when he weighs in on theological and philosophical matters. Painful, painful high school caliber ignorance.
- CrypticShift 4y agoAs one of the progenitors of "New Age" currents [0], you bet Catholic theologians don't like him.
