Abstract

Resumo An analysis of published works on difficulties of conciliation between scientific knowledge and Christian beliefs by students and future science teachers is presented. The following were identified: conflicting theories and their relevance; the reactions of students and future teachers to the study or teaching of these theories; conceptions of religious beliefs presented by the authors of the works and by those under investigation; and the possibilities of relationship between science and faith presented. The results confirm the recurrence of a problematic relationship between some scientific content and Christian beliefs in the Brazilian educational environment.
