“With this new sense of moving forward, from simple to complex life forms, from bacteria to humans, science shows that evolution is more than a method of collecting and classifying the facts of life; rather it is the means by which humanity can move forward into the future.”
― Ilia Delio, From Teilhard to Omega: Co-creating an Unfinished Universe

“As far as theology is concerned, Christian understanding of the meaning of God, Christ, redemption, morality, and human existence is still weighed down by both prescientific and early modern cosmological assumptions.”
― Ilia Delio, From Teilhard to Omega: Co-creating an Unfinished Universe

“Thus, the direction of evolution is toward the maximization of goodness, especially if we maintain that the incarnation is the goal of evolution. If Jesus Christ is truly creator (as divine Word) and redeemer (as Word Incarnate) then what is created out of love is ultimately redeemed by love. The meaning of Christ is summed up in creation’s potential for self transcendent love.”
― Ilia Delio, Christ in Evolution

“From within the heart of matter, I hold together the foundations of the universe.”
― Ilia Delio, From Teilhard to Omega: Co-creating an Unfinished Universe
