Friends who know my personal commitment to a Jewish view of life are often surprised when I tell that them " a French Jesuit is one of my gurus". It's true.
My encounter with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin began about 35 years ago when I found his book "The Phenomenon of Man" . Teilhard was not only a French Jesuit but also a renowned paleontologist.
In it, he outlines his core belief - that we are entering the third stage of evolution, namely that of knowledge (noogenesis). The first two were geological (geogenesis) and biological (biogenesis).
