Early in life, Teilhard knew that he must love both God and Earth with equal passion. Yet it took him many years to formulate his famous phrase “Communion with God through Earth,” and many more to realize in a profound way how the interaction of Incarnation with Evolution provides a framework for this formula.

This paper explores these concepts.
