The article presents an outlook over a possibility of the synthesis of science and religion. Modern development of a doctrine of the contemporary Church requires a dialogue between the evolutionary biology and Christian theology. The dialogue will allow to convey the nunciate in a form adequate for the Gospel addressee, i. e. for the people living in “the age of science”. This is one of the most urgent missionary tasks. The article critically analyses the alternative to structuring of such a dialogue – phenomenon of “scientific creationism”. The reasons of its methodological, ontological, theological inadequacy for the scientific world view are explained. Building its arguments on modern research of the evolution mechanisms, the author presents a possible understanding of the hexahemeron taking into account modern explanation of the evolution phenomenon. The given view on the evolution may answer all the claims, addressed towards it. It turns from an intellectual temptation into a space of Divine Revelation.
