BUILDING THE EARTH

Among the notable religious thinkers and writers of our time was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. A priest of the Roman Catholic Church, a scientist, philosopher, and theologian, de Chardin saw the advance of all creation in optimistic and upward evolving progress. "Some day," he wrote, "after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness - for God -the energies of love. And then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire."
