Summary/Abstract: Science and theology are covering two distinct domains ofour reality: physics and metaphysics, using two distinct methods o investigation: epistemology and gnoseology, respectively. As such, aconflict between science and theology should not possible because there is no overlapping area. Science only offers paradigmatic explanations of howthe universe works, without having the scope to offer scientific explanations for the cause and purpose of the universe and all beings’ existence. On the other hand, using gnoseology, Christian Orthodox theology, especially the apophatic one, is able to offer spiritual ontological understanding for the cause and scope of the universe and all beings’ existence, without offering detailed functional explanations for them.
