Summary/Abstract: The article is an elaboration and a critique of certain aspects of the discussion on the relationship between theology and the natural sciences, with special consideration given to the methodological level. In the paper, I will show that in the domain of the natural sciences, there is a crucial and substantial evolution of methodology in terms of the scientific explanation, theories of truth, methods for justifying scientific hypotheses, etc. I will point out the specific loci where theology can effectively meet science, conserving, however, its autonomy and specificity. Modern cosmology is presented as a special case study in this discussion.
