The dialogue between science and faith from the orthodox theological perspective
The dispute between science and Christian belief has been kept vivid among scholars in developed societies with long democratic traditions for several centuries now. In fact, such feisty discussion (occasionally attempting to become rough) is a well recognized characteristic almost entirely connected to the Christian West, being not so obvious in the Christian East. Thus, one might be under the impression that the East is lagging behind the West considering the ever open Science vs. Christian Faith Debate. However, it would not only be unfair but also erroneous to label the phenomenon as being the product of the alleged inferiority of the Orthodox theology. Indeed, some influential Orthodox theologians hold a position that the problem was entirely initiated and propelled by and within the scholastic thought of the West, eventually transforming itself into a foundation of a new positive philosophy unwilling or even unable to accept the truth(s) that cannot be rationally verified. However, such a phenomenon seems entirely unknown (or even impossible) for the Christian East. Therefore, it seems important to understand the reasons behind it and analyze their influence. This essay is a modest attempt to shed light on the subject as being contemplated by a scholar (and a believer himself) dealing professionally with the achievements of a positive science such as genetics.
