Robert Nicastro, Ph.D., is a theologian, teacher, and writer whose research explores the convergence of religion, science, and artificial intelligence. His work focuses on how emerging technologies are reshaping human identity, planetary consciousness, and the future of religious thought. His doctoral dissertation, The Future as Sole Support: Metaphysics, Hyperphysics, and the Theology of Teilhard de Chardin, offers a reinterpretation of Teilhard’s cosmic vision as a compelling metaphysical framework for addressing the complex challenges of the twenty-first century. He currently serves as executive director of the Center for Christogenesis, an organization dedicated to deepening the integration of science and religion and reflecting on the human person as an integral member of the cosmic whole.
In this episode, Patrick Carolan and Michael Centore speak with Robert about evolutionary theology, the integration of faith and science, deepening rather than discarding orthodoxy, and human participation in the “divine milieu.” With his ability to explain and elucidate complex theological concepts and his commitment to widening the horizons of our understanding of the church, Robert was an ideal “keynote interview” for the Tomorrow’s American Catholic podcast.
