Summary/Abstract: American philosopher Stanley Lewis Jaki, analysing creative moments in the history of science concludes that the ways of creative science and philosophical paths to the God consists unique intellectual vector. His conclusion is based on two facts: scientific method proposes coherent rationality of the Cosmos and that moderate realism is epistemology of all creative scientists. Incorporating such elements in philosophical perspective, by author, necessary leads to classical a posteriori metaphysical proofs of existence of God. He finds special confirmation of his thesis in Gödel’s theorems and its application in cosmology that proves contingence of the Universe, which is a basic principle of all a posteriori proofs of God existence.
