Science, philosophy, and religion are ways of relating to the world and cognition of the world. Faith and science are interconnected. In this paper, theology and mathematics are compared. The role of facts in science is emphasized, and in this connection, the problem of inductive cognition is discussed, as well as a critical attitude toward the scientific method. In addition to the empirical and inductive way of cognition, there are other ways of cognition (deductive–axiomatic, intuitive, etc.). There are also elements of faith in science. The question is whether there is a place for God in science. In the end, the question arises as to how much religion, the Church, and science were in conflict, whether their conflict is of an essential nature or just a peripheral phenomenon, and who is actually hindering the development of science.
