“Christian faith is not fatal either to the rational method of conquering the world or to man’s confidence in himself (on the contrary, it stimulates and inspires them). But, in conformity with the law of the integration of the natural in the supernatural, it is superimposed upon them both. It is erected on the laboriously maintained foundation of human endeavor, to preserve it, direct, organize and transform it.”

Teilhard says so much in so few words but every time I read what he says, I find new meaning in those few words. This quote is a prime example of something that I will need to reread several times. Thanks for posting this.
