"This book intends to describe the past and future evolution of life. Many of the scientific concepts expressed in the first half of the book have been superseded by more recent developments.
For me, the main interesting concept in the book is the assertion that human consciousness is an aspect of evolution. Also that evolution has a goal, i.e. the increasing complexity of human consciousness (called noosphere) which will culminate in the final super-humanized form (p. 259) which the author calls the Omega point.
Since the author was trained as a priest, it would have been helpful if he had given insight as to why/how religion plays such a large part in human consciousness."
"I like like this book becasue it tries to appropriate or shall I "religiously interpret", although indefinitively and inconclusively, the major and recent scientific discoveries through the lens of the Christian understanding of history and of the cosmos."
