of the universe, conditions
of temperature, atmospheric pressure, radioactivity, and a host

atoms or their components would bind and consolidate, which involved totally unknown processes and variables, as single
atoms behave far differently than conglomerations

of evolution is merely think piece
of scientists on how life on Earth changes over time.

This is an important and helpful book for the Catholic community as it struggles to respond appropriately to the challenge outlined
by Watkin — and
by Ronald Knox two years earlier in 1945 (see the first part

atoms... all brought about
by the scientific method have evidence as to their the reason why things are the way they are... NOT god... in EVERY instance god has proven not to be what it is... the reason a volcano explodes is not because the wrath
of god is upon a community... we understand the process behind the event but we didn't always KNOW that.
Thus, at the lowest level, electrons tend to unite and converge in the

of cephalization; the higher animal groups form colonies, hives, herds, societies, etc.; man socializes and forms civilizations as foci
of attraction and organization.

Christians have always brushed aside the notion that the world is self - generating, a random concatenation

For example, he said, look at the Buddhist theory

Of course mind - only partisans do not mean

there's really no room for the concept
of an independent entity possessed
of «will» in a worldview shaped
by cause and effect; the only place for «will» to retreat to is the zone
of true randomness,
of complete uncertainty, which means that truly free will as such must be completely inscrutible [sic]... Statistical laws govern the decay
of a block
of uranium, but whether or not this
atom of uranium chooses to fission in this instant is a completely unpredictable event — fundamentally unpredictable, something which simply can not be known — which is equally good evidence for the proposition that it's God's (or the
atom's) will whether it splits or remains whole, as for the proposition that it's random chance.
One may then generalize this intuition and, employing the criterion
of «active singularity,» further argue
by analogy that whatever is experienced to act as one must also feel as one, whether this be an animal or a cell, a molecule or an
atom (1970a, 36, 143f.
He goes on to comment: «if we wish to explain the observed world in terms
of Matter without reference to Mind, then it must be explained
by things material, ultimate and simple all at the same time —
by indivisible, notional «
atoms» and a chance «swerve» that sets them in random motion.
The extreme view that a person is «just a collection
of atoms» is less persuasive in the light
of tracer studies showing that the
atoms in our bodies are replaced every few years; 6 the self that continues must be constituted
by the relationships and patterns among
atoms, rather than
by the
atoms in themselves.
In the cosmic sense, because it is the expression and prolongation
of the primordial process whereby, at the uttermost extreme from the disintegrating

Atomism (which goes all the way back to Democritus, who coined the term
atom) assumes that physical reality consists

«What we have described as globalization is remarkably close to Teilhard de Chardin's planetization, in which «[mankind, born on this planet and spread over its entire surface, come [s] gradually to form round its earthly matrix, a single, major, organic unity, enclosed upon itself.4 Thus the globalization
of humankind could lead to the formation
of a new kind
of living entity — a social organism — on the same cosmic principle as that
by which
atoms join to form molecules, molecules join to form mega-molecules, mega-molecules unite to form living cells, and innumerable cells constitute an organism.
A corollary
of this view, on the part
of some scientists, is that the phenomenon
of mentality in human beings can be explained
by the complex interaction
of molecules and
atoms in the brain, as epiphenomenon
of matter.
