ABSTRACT
Science and Theology need to follow a common path if there is to be a future for both the Noosphere and the Biosphere. Most of western science is now open to a different approach, where the relation between science and theology can be presented using a different model of interaction. Theology and philosophy, then, provided ideas that gave the natural sciences a way to investigate nature and the rational processes of knowledge; theology is at the service of natural science. The insights of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and his synthesis of science and theology can serve as useful instruments for analysing and understanding the future of both science and theology in the new millennium. Teilhard's evolutionary approach to building the earth is connected with both theology and scientific development. His research programme required the geologist and the palaeontologist to adopt a new approach and attitude. The main objective of his work, then, was to look for canalization and parallelisms.
