ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a new model of the interaction between Science and Religion, based upon the works of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and his scientific research programme. For him, the novelty to be incorporated in ecclesiastical thinking was the evolutionary approach to life that he considered held deep ontological meaning for Creation Theology. As a theologian, he proposed a new approach to the way Christians need to act in the world, one that is relevant to environmental ethics. A natural development of his approach takes place when the perspective of stability further enriches the science of the biosphere. The concept of the biosphere has demonstrated that stability is required for the survival of life. The biosphere and the noosphere are related to Teilhard's new vision of life and humankind considered as a whole. He believed that it was possible to apply the concepts of complexity and globality, both to life and to humankind.
