[QUOTE="o_mlly, post: 77659389, member: 434838"] It's been quite a while since I read Teilhard. I recall that he attempted to use secondary causes to permit a theistic evolution argument. In order to do so, Teilhard posited that a rock (or at least the lowest form of life) had the potential for free will and rationality. The argument fails under first principles of philosophy, ie., sufficient reason. An effect must be present in one or more of its causes -- you cannot give that which you do not possess. The church rejected Teilhard's argument for explaining man. [/QUOTE]
