Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, wellknown Jesuit paleontologist, scientist and mystic, was the first person to realize that the history of the Universe and life told by Science is that of a rise towards complexity and consciousness.

That raises the question : Is consciousness, effect of complexity, the aim of the Evolution ? This

Following tenacious and widely spread prejudices, Life in appearance so frail and rare in the Universe, would be but a fortuitous accident, and consequently something of secondary importance in Cosmogenesis.

The British Teilhard Association promotes the work and vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - a vision of love, of fire, of convergence, of a world in evolution energised by spirit, a vision of dynamism and direction - of a universe in movement towards its ultimate consummation or completion in a 'universal cosmic centre' or 'centre of centres'.
