@ You may find the commentary below to be of interest. Here is an excerpt:

"...As Teilhard wrote, "in no case could the cosmos be conceived, and
realized, without a supreme center of spiritual consistence." ...I
wrote that human beings are "facts of the universe" and must be
analyzed and evaluated cosmologically, for "discovering what a human
being is is the key to fathoming the implacable mystery of the cosmos
itself." Along these lines, Teilhard observed that "There is a
science of the universe without man. There is also a science of man
as marginal to the universe; but there is not yet a science of the
universe that embraces man as such. Present-day physics... does not
yet give a place to thought; which means that it still exists in
complete independence of the most remarkable phenomenon exposed by
nature to our observation." ..."

The fundamental evil that besets us... is our incapacity to see the
whole. --Teilhard de Chardin
