Abstract

The question about the ultimate meaning of the world is as ancient as mankind. The novelty is
that, while during the previous centuries we were able to search for an answer only through art,
mitology, philosophy and religion, nowadays we can search for it also by means of experimental
science, especially cosmology and the so-called “Theory Of Everything” (TOE). The paradox is
that during this search science sometimes seems to contradict religion, especially christianism,
from which nonetheless it was born. In the present paper we’ll see why this is not the case, and
why no theory will ever be able to completely exhaust reality.
