We defend in this article -following Professor Antonio Fernández-Rañada- (Fernández-Rañada, 2018) that the philosophy of science, epistemology is not only convenient, but necessary for the encounter between science and religion. Many of the authors who reflect, write and publish about the encounter between the science and religion cultures, usually insist on the coherence between the historical, scientific, theological aspects that can build bridges between science and religion. The interdisciplinary experience of many years has led to the same conclusion that Fernández-Rañada postulates: what allows and facilitates to lay positions between the scientific worldview of the world and the experience of religious traditions is, above all, to start from common epistemological postulates that make it possible to dialogue from a common language: that of epistemology.
