Abstract
The article analyzes the evolution of the relationship between the Christian teachings of the East (Orthodox theology), Roman Catholic doctrine and science. It describes the scientific views and theories which do not always correspond to the teaching of the Church in extreme understanding and endeavor. In the text, we are gradually passing through the most well-known scientific theories, such as Darwinism, scientific cosmology, astrophysics and quantum physics, and we compare them with the Christian view, trying to raise questions as much as possible in such assertions as the basis of individual theories.

SUMMARY
One thing is the historical and real proof of the authenticity and the apostolic succession, the second is the reason why the Church is the most useful for man. Another aspect is the world of science, which is not by its scientific research, but by individual theoretical statements directly negates the faith and truth of the gospel of the creation of the world, and it all irrational considers as fiction. Scientific investigations from the 20th to the 21st century are also stunning, that there is a period of conviction that science can explain everything. But in its essence, science is powerless against many unexplained phenomena in the world. The believer accepts all things, and the creation of the world with faith. The person who wants to be clear with all his logical thoughts and ideas cannot really believe. Faith is a virtue and a huge manifestation of the soul of a person who is not subject to the biological law. The Bible and the science should not go against each other, but each of them should answer different questions. Who and why they are a matter of the Bible, how and when it helps to clarify science. However, the leader always holds a biblical link because it reveals to man the answers which are of great concern to him.
