Summary/Abstract: For centuries, science was considered as something radically different from religion. Yet, thefoundations of true science are deeply religious in nature. This paper seeks to show how religionis the only foundation needed for the formulation of scientific theories, since it provides the coreprinciples on which the building of exact sciences is based upon. Our need to understand thecosmos and our faith in us being able to do so, are the main prerequisites for conducting science;prerequisites that are derived from our belief in us being the sons of God and, thus, being able toread His mind. From its birth on 7 March 1277 up to today, science seems to be the only logicalattitude of religious people towards the unknown cosmos.
