Is often quoted the view that faith and science have little in common or even be bitter enemies. From Galileo to Darwin, this statement seems to have been accredited. In fact, these two dimensions of knowledge every now and have had a difficult relationship and it is clear that in history there have been differing views, but in reality this "conflict" is only apparent. That there is a dialogue and a healthy comparison between them it is not only possible but also desirable, because from such an exchange of views can take a positive impact on both dimensions of knowledge.
