## Resource

This episode is a companion to S5E23 on the evolutionary model of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, which incorporates God into an otherwise atheistic scientific theory. Author of The Call of Wonder, Brian Cranley, joins Chris to hash out their thoughts after having freshly read Chardin's work--The Phenomenon of Man--for the first time. We discuss his overarching model of evolution, his notion of God "Omega" and its significance to the model and all the various reasons why he was censured by the Catholic church. You can find more about Brian Cranley on his website: briancranley.com and purchase his book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/cqllhDC Enjoy ;)
