Teilhard de Chardin. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ (1881-1955) was a French philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of Peking Man.

The day will come when after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. -from The Evolution of Chastity.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's vision was one of consuming fire, kindled by the radiant powers of love. He wrote books such as, "The Phenomenon of Man", "The Evolution of Chastity", and "Hymn of the Universe", the latter of which emphasized the transubstantiation of mankind itself, in the speaking of the words "This is my body" and "this is my blood". All of us belonging to the Universe and all life being connected by Divine Love of the Creator. Google "Rediscovering Fire" for a nice overview of his thoughts.
