  In recent centuries the world has become increasingly dominated by empirical
evidence and theoretic science in developing worldviews. Advances in science
have dictated Roman Catholic doctrine such as the acceptance of Darwinian
evolution and Big Bang cosmology. Albert Einstein created an indelible impact
on the relationship between science and religion. The question is whether or
not his work was deleterious for church doctrine or whether it was compatible
with, or even advanced, church dogma. It's my contention that Einstein revived
the relationship between science and theology and did not create a bifurcation
between the two. Despite his personal religious beliefs, his work has helped to
reinforce the harmonious conjunction of science with religion, which cannot be
ignored by succeeding scientists and theologians.
