Summary/Abstract: By the Orthodox teaching’s point of view on the uncreated energies, the science has the possibility to be spiritually substantiated. As far back as the patristic epoch, the theology speaks of the inward rationality of creation backed up by the uncreated energies, by which the world can be gathered in man and lifted to the highest level of its existence, to its being transfigured into a new heaven and a new earth. The microscopic world is found at the basis of the visible material world, but by knowing it, the science has exactly discovered this rationality. In accordance with Einstein discovery concerning the hierarchy of the physics laws, the universe’s rationality goes beyond its manifestation described with the help of the laws of symmetry, of finality, of cause and effect, all of which are conspicuous at the macroscopic level; it was this reality which has induced the men of science to assert that this is the work of God’s Mind.
