The Role of the Christian Worldview in the Origin and the Preservation of the Scientific Knowledge
Abstract
When some scientists claim an atheistic vision, they actually harm science more than faith. Modern science could only be born in a worldview shaped by the biblical God. The framework of Creation and the fact of the Resurrection made the development of the scientific method possible. For this reason, when science is uprooted from the environment that made it flourish, in fact it becomes more fragile. Science without God runs the risk of being subjected to the arbitrariness of power. Hence faith and reason need each other today more than ever.
