This article aims to present Rubem Alves’s conception of science and religion, with the purpose to demonstrating the following aspects of his thought: (1) the science and the religion are functionally equivalent as possibles languages to order the world – each one of them has its own features to constructs socials ties and interprets the world’s phenomenons; and (2) it is impossible for modern science to know religion, because when the second one is considered as a distant object of the human experience it removes what is essentially constitutes religion, namely, the substantial subjective experience (the emotional, aesthetic and ethic experiences).
