Abstract
The article develops problem-confessional method directed towards investigation of religion. In this sense political and social sciences are very significant “content-border” both for science and religion. Any philosophical utterance always excludes any controversy, objections or doubts, meaning it is indispensable anв universal, even if it denies the first, the second, and the third. Philosophy, by its definition, examines ultimate subject-matter of nature, society, and human being. It examines essential utterances on eternity. Modernist rejection of eternity is controversial, since it was done from the perspective of consistency and permanency as universality and necessity. So, in that sense the essential utterance – is a religious utterance. “Istus eonas ton eon” – both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Any axiomatics, not only religious and dogmatic, but also scientific and analytical, is built upon the acceptance or non-acceptance of obvious, original, and predefined fundamentals of knowledge. It is a basis, which enables any evidence and argumentation. It must be accepted as a given, unobvious for persuasion experience. In other words, give the benefit of doubt, for instance axiom of matter axiom of parallel lines Darwinism and creationism etc. Otherwise, it is referred to the statement on creative and logistic-administrative matter of the creation of the world and its existence. In relation to the latter, in terms of creation and Divine Providence as an information and communication process in the form of Word-Logos, in the form of decision-making, it is possible to assert interesting relation and correlation of religion, politics, and science.
