Abstract

Science and religion are two important pillars of society. However, in common sense there has been the underlying idea of an irreconcilable conflict between reason and faith. Sometimes a reductionist approach to the subject is noticed, and thereby harmful images are perpetuated to the progress of these fields of knowledge. This article discusses the relationship between science and faith from a historical perspective. It seeks to understand the possibility of a more productive exchange between science and religion and which models have been proposed. Some Brazilian contributions towards a possible constructive interaction between the areas of knowledge are also analyzed.
