ABSTRACT
Atheology of evolution maintains that whatever the immediate causes and mechanisms operative in Darwinian process is the ultimate explanation of evolution and of the cosmic process that sponsors it is God. Materialist interpretations of evolution have suppressed or attempted to explain away the fact of the emergence more and more intense versions of subjectivity. Inasmuch, therefore, as “matter” is always accompanied by some degree of inwardness in Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s cosmology; a theology that follows his thought may speculate that from the cosmic process the physical universe has been receptive and responsive to the presence of God. Since the beginning of the modern age there have been many attempts to understand how God might act in the world as construed by natural science. But most of these endeavours have sought to relate divine action to a cosmos that has been already denuded theoretically of the capacity to experience any causal influence other than a mechanical one.
