Science and technology today exert a great influence on human life, with science providing the vision of the universe and technology conditioning the progress of life in a globalized world. Teilhard de Chardin recognizes these functions of science and technology and attempts to give a Christian vision of them. He proposes that the worldview of science is not only compatible with the Christian faith, but that it should also help us to know God the Creator better. From another point of view, it is in this world known by science that God has become incarnate in Christ, and so scientific research becomes a form of worship. For Teilhard, the evolutionary vision of the world provided by science finds its end in Christ, so that cosmogenesis becomes a Christogenesis. Technology must also be seen within this dynamic process of the world as an important element of human evolution. This evolution will lead to the arrival of the Ultra-human and to the union of the world with the Christ-Omega. For Teilhard, thus, science and technology have a Christological dimension.
