Having said all this, almost spontaneously, I arrive at a fundamental question. Is the diversity present in reality found within an evolutionary movement toward a unification, as Teilhard de Chardin would like it? Or perhaps evolution is only one of the many ways to perceive reality, as Panikkar would like it? In other words: is multiplicity part of evolution (Teilhard de Chardin) or is evolution part of a harmonious multiplicity (Panikkar)?
