    1. True religion, like true science, differentiating the scope of its competence, can never be in conflict with each other. If such a contradiction is obtained, then it means that either religion or science has changed its principles and turned into pseudo-religion or pseudo-science. Faith and knowledge are inherently inseparable from each other.

       It is impossible to assume that a believer does not think about the object of his faith and does not know what he believes; it is impossible that a philosopher or a scientist, while investigating, would not at least believe in his own mind. Knowledge for religion is as necessary and legal as faith for science. Faith may be necessary where knowledge is insufficient and powerless. What is known by faith should not conflict with knowledge. True, this contradiction is often imaginary. Christian apologetics in matters of the relationship between religion and science is engaged in the opening of these alleged contradictions.
