IPS Nifon emphasized the connection between faith and science at the Scientific Research Gala in Târgoviștetranslated

His Eminence Father Nifon, Archbishop of Târgovişte, Honorary Metropolitan and Patriarchal Exarch, emphasized the connection between faith and science, during the opening of the 2026 Scientific Research Gala, organized on Monday by "Valahia" University in Târgovişte, informs Agerpres.

His Eminence explained that the progress of scientific knowledge and religious belief should not be seen as opposing realities.

"Science and faith are not two banks of a river, which never meet, but the areas through which man rises to the contemplation of absolute truth."

The hierarch drew attention to the risk of considering science the only way to know the truth, ignoring the spiritual and moral dimension of man.

"Such a vision turns technology from an ally into an idol and risks putting atomic power or artificial intelligence in the service of destruction in the absence of genuine ethics," His Eminence warned.
