Theology and Wisdom

The dialectical movment between faith and truth needs balance. Polarization, assimilation or annihilation of one or the other ends in fundamentalism. Both faith and truth will always exist and is part of the sphera of reason. The search for truth without faith becomes scientific fundamentalism, when knowledge turns into faith. The search for faith without knowledge becomes religious fundamentalisme, when faith turns into knowledge.

Scientific fundamentalisme is occupied with methodological atheism. In critizism we trust! Religious fundamentalisme is occupied with fatalistic moralism. In God we trust! Both position is an attempt to escape reality in a quest of freedom.

To be in reality and to be as free as human can be in life, we need a dialectical reasoning caring for both faith and truth.
