The following was taken from the Teilhard de Chardin Facebook page. I laughed when I read it and thought I would share it here:
“Teilhard’s combination of divine and evolution, instead of divine single-step complete creation and instead of blind evolution, and his arguments for it are so good … that I will forgive him for the incredibly long runaway sentences in many of his books.”
— Hank Haarmann, Director for Cognitive Neuroscience at Center for Advanced Study of Language at University of Maryland Neuroimaging Center
Teilhard de Chardin 
It is true that Teilhard’s language is a deterrent to some… 🙂
🙂
But I like “incredibly long runaway sentences ” 🙂
LOL :-). I have been accused of that also.
🙂
LOL!!! Teilhard is a brilliant scientist and theologian – how many theologians are easy to comprehend?
Agreed 🙂

I think that the fact that we are able to smile can be explained as part of the development of communications in creation. It is also evident that every human person can hide his true intentions even though, for collaboration purposes, he will smile. Humor is part of this development, I think. Teilhard de Chardin had friends such as Henri de Lubac who probably was able to share with him humorous anecdotes as we all do. The comment made by Hank Haarman about him is valuable. I enjoyed it.
