Kosmologia i teologia: niezależność, dialog czy integracja? Propozycja inspirowana poglądami Georgesa Lemaître’a

Abstrakt

This article examines the relationship between cosmology and theology, addressing the question of whether their proper relation should be one of independence, dialogue, or integration. The point of departure is Ian Barbour’s typology of science–religion relations (conflict, independence, dialogue, integration), with particular emphasis on the model of independence. The main reference point is the position of Georges Lemaître—a Catholic priest and cosmologist—who advocated a clear separation between scientific and theological discourse in order to avoid misunderstandings arising from a confusion of epistemological domains. His views are largely consistent with principles developed in the philosophy of science, especially the so-called principle of epistemological and methodological homogeneity, which follows from the widely accepted autonomy of the sciences, philosophy, and theology. At the level of subject research, cosmology and theology should therefore remain independent. However, this independence does not entail isolation, as openness in the form of inspiring dialogue is both possible and desirable. At the meta-subject (philosophical) level, a dialogical engagement should be undertaken to seek answers to fundamental human questions. This dialogue should aim at constructing a coherent vision of reality as a synthesis of various types of knowledge. At the highest (metaphilosophical, axiological) level, the epistemic value of the constructed worldviews should be assessed in order to determine which worldview offers the most coherent and explanatory understanding of reality.
