Faith and Science Interview with Mariano Artigas conducted in December 1996 by Elika Brajnovic Digitized from the original video in April 2016 Mariano Artigas was a professor at the University of Navarra, where he founded the Research Group Science, Reason and Faith. He died in 2006. Content: Science is reliable knowledge, and provides authentic knowledge. This does not mean that science does not always have questions that are subject to review. Faith includes an element of trust in God, and that is why it is meritorious. The work of the scientist is to discover reality. But at the same time he needs to construct concepts, laws, etc. Science is something constructed to a large extent. From a sociological point of view, science can distance us from God, but when we advance in it, it brings us closer to God. Faith pushes us to investigate in order to better understand God's creation. Scientific advances do not go against nature or have an impact on it; this happens only in some applied research. Science has a positive value because it points to the truth. Extensive summary of the Galileo case. What faith says about evolution. The original Anglican context and the current American context of the dispute between faith and evolution. The Church's position on evolution. Whether it is possible to speak of a Christian anthropology. Positions that force science. On various interpretations of the evolutionary phenomenon.
