23Religion and Science in the Thougt of Pierre Teilhard de ChardinFilozofia i Nauka 4 81-94. 2016.Key terms: cosmogenesis, evolution, consciousness, noosphere, religion, science, technology. The question whether religion and science can be reconciled is still under discussion today. Philosophical naturalism rejects such a possibility, at best treating these fields as a non overlapping magisteria (Stephen Jay Gould).
