Something is working itself out in this universe. What is it?An interview with evolutionary theologian John F. Haught
Amy Edelstein of EnlightenNext recalls their first encounter:
"Haught's precise mind and inquisitive heart are doing much to encourage a higher level of discussion in the world of evolutionary theology, invigorating the debate between science and religion. After speaking with him for just twenty minutes, my own grasp of where the march of evolution is taking us deepened in ways I never would have imagined."
Profoundly influenced by the ideas of Pierre Teilhard deChardin, Haught urges "... communion with God through the Earth, meaning that we want to keep alive our sense of the infinite, our sense of the eternal, our sense of the divine, even as we remember that the way we come in contact with that divine reality is only by way of natural reality or by way of things immediate to our experience."
"We can't describe or predict the evolutionary developments in the world's future with any great accuracy, but maybe they would take the form of even deeper consciousness and deeper freedom, deeper capacity to love and feel, and so forth. At the very least, we should leave ourselves open to those possibilities."
