Part 5/10:
The Genesis of the Omega Point can be traced back to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a paleontologist and Jesuit priest whose ideas were deeply rooted in Darwinian evolution. Teilhard’s vision expanded the paradigm of evolution beyond humanity, suggesting a coalescence of consciousness that he termed the Noosphere—a cognitive layer that encapsulates all human thought. His writings, particularly The Phenomenon of Man, explored the idea that all matter progresses towards the Omega Point signifying the ultimate divine consciousness.
