# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was born in France on 1 May 1881 and entered the Jesuits, eventually training as both priest and scientist. He carried stretchers through the First World War, earning the Médaille militaire and the Legion of Honor. His paleontological work took him to China, where he joined the team that discovered Peking Man fossils in the Zhoukoudian caves near Beijing. At the same time he was writing speculative works that blended evolution, Christian mysticism, and ideas borrowed from Henri Bergson — conceiving things like the Omega Point and contributing, with Vladimir Vernadsky, to the concept of the noosphere. In 1962, seven years after his death on 10 April 1955, the Holy Office issued a warning about ambiguities and doctrinal errors in his writings, though it never spelled them out. Scientists have remained split; some popes since have offered measured praise.
