Abstract
Judeo-Christian theology and science ask very different questions and use different procedures, while the uniqueness of each enterprise arises as a direct consequence of the different natures of the principal object of investigation in each field. Science concerns itself with understanding the intelligibility revealed in the structures of the physical universe, while theology attempts to understand how the transcendent Creator of this universe has revealed himself to human observers in the space-time structures in which both theologian and scientist live. Nevertheless, at the epistemological level, a symmetry exists between theology and science as both are grounded in "faith seeking understanding."1 This epistemological symmetry between the two disciplines is clearly seen in the functional dependence of reason on faith.
