In my personal religious and intellectual experience, there has been no greater joy than to investigate and perceive the overlap of science and spirituality. I have never doubted the existence of an overarching creative presence in the universe, and at one time I began to define this as an “Omnipresent Intelligent Being” (OIB). I do not in any way accept the fundamentalist interpretations that consider the “Creation Myth” of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures to be a factual description of the origin of our universe or life upon this planet, but I likewise totally reject the notion pseudo-science sometimes proposes that everything is purely “accidental”. When during my young adulthood I discovered the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (several of whose books I’ve previously reviewed for ), I knew I had encountered truth at a level much deeper than the superficial ideas involved in the current arguments between Creationists and Evolutionists.
Therefore, with all my subsequent scientific and theological reading since, I have been searching for those writers who do in fact integrate scientific and spiritual insights in the same way Teilhard did, actually carrying his ideas forward as ever-new insights evolve in both areas. Ilia Delio is one such writer that I am ecstatic to have encountered. As both a scientist and a Franciscan Sister, Delio has all the necessary qualifications to continue to expand this dialogue. Her writing is brilliant, thorough and completely readable. In the past, the dissemination and development of Teilhard’s thought was hindered by the fact that his ideas were so revolutionary, the authorities of the Catholic Church (he was a Jesuit priest as well as a scientist) prohibited publication during his lifetime.
