Since when we had achieved an ability to think, we has been asked those questions: "where we came from?", "how the universe began?" These are the questions aboutthe origin of man, the universe, and the life. Religion and science are commonly the legacy of our effort to find the answer to these fundamental inquiries. The author attempts to develop a contextual dialogue between science and religion in the context of Korea, Here, the theological context of Korea, which differs from the Western, reflects both the religio-cultural context of religious pluralism as well as the socio-political context experienced colonialism and dictatorship. The readers looking for an ultimate truth may enjoy a mosaic woven through the contextual dialogue between modern science and the East Asian religious tradition.
