The triumph of the reason as the only way of natural knowledge was the most remarkable result of the paradigm shift occurred during the so-called Scientific Revolution, which reaches from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, and in which dogmatic reasoning lost progressively its role as the principal form of knowledge. Nevertheless, during the following centuries, a large part of the men of science were willing to favour the conversion of dogma into an agent of rational thought. This paper, tries to offer a point of reflection on the influence that the biblical account maintained in the construction of the modern scientific theories that, somehow, tried to explain relevant issues such as the origin of physical and moral differences between humans. The broader objective is to demonstrate that, as a form of cultural expression, the dogmatic-religious thought continued to play a transcendental role in the legitimation of a part of the modern rational scientific discourse, committed to defending the civilizing role and the physical and moral superiority of Western states, far beyond what the simple use of reason permitted.

理性作为自然知识的唯一途径的胜利是所谓的科学革命期间发生的范式转变的最显着结果，从文艺复兴到启蒙运动，教条推理逐渐失去了其作为知识的主要形式。尽管如此，在接下来的几个世纪里，很大一部分科学界人士愿意支持将教条转变为理性思考的代理人。本文试图对圣经记载对现代科学理论构建的影响提供一个反思点，现代科学理论以某种方式试图解释相关问题，例如人类之间身体和道德差异的起源。更广泛的目标是证明，作为一种文化表达形式，
