Will Artificial Intelligence bring an end to evolution? Or will it be a necessary “next step” in the inexorable march to what Pierre Teilhard De Chardin called “The Omega Point” - the universe’s maximum state of development? We were thrilled - and honored - to spend a captivating hour talking about those questions with theologian, author, and professor, Ilia Delio, whose Center For Christogenesis (https://christogenesis.org/) works to bridge the gap between the passion of spirituality and the purpose of science. As always, strap in as we go everforward into the super cool world of everything “Omega!”

Do we really need to look for magic in the skies (UFOs), or in the pyramids, or in the myths from antiquity that have somehow survived into modernity? No, we don’t. There’s no actual magic there. To engage with real magic, we need only peer into the foundational depths of our cell phones, and our cars, and our clothing, and our … everything else. That’s where the true magic is. And it’s also in our origins, and our evolution, and the emergent laws and the constants of our “finely-tuned” and relativistic universe. It’s stitched into the edges of existence, yet inexplicably interwoven into the fabric of the cosmos as well — even if the pattern is almost impossible to see. It’s in the “blur” of reality. And that’s precisely where we’re going in this episode of Exus The Podquest. This is Part 1 of a series of shows about "The Magic That Already Is." Enjoy!
