Summary/Abstract: The problem of the relationship between religion and science, understood as the relation between the Christian doctrine and natural sciences, is widely known and discussed today. This article undertakes a very practical approach in an effort to represent and reconsider the Christian outlook on life within the context of the encounter of two great ideas in the man of faith: creation and evolution. A basic sketch of the Christian outlook on life along with its essential features is drawn from a proposed definition. Within this framework, we suggest an interpretation of the encounter and interaction of creation and evolution. Dialogue provides the means to achieve a mature attitude towards reality to both the believer and those pursuing natural sciences. At the same time, it may lead to an inner integration of man and answer some current cultural crises.
