In the western human history there are knowledge common to Abrahamic religions as well as to science. Some of these knowledge remain as inspirations for scientific investigations; were of concern before the rise of modern science; were in the core of the XVII century scientific revolution, and remain up to date in science and in religion, in spite of their doctrinarian diversity. Finally, we shall say a few words on present interest in science and religion studies.
