Faith and the Compatibility Between Science and Religion.

Abstract

In this conference, the Nobel Prize in Economics recounts the experiences that led him to convert to Christianity and shows how, from his point of view, the work of scientists (in particular, cosmologists who investigate the origins of the universe) they presuppose faith in their theories. "The conceptual and theoretical constructs of science constitute the 'substances of things expected', and observational evidence depends on instruments that record 'the evidence of things not seen'." On the other hand, it tells us that science must preserve the sense of mystery, present in all things.
