Sonia Theodoro da Silva - Bachelor in Philosophy Since the emergence of science, or more precisely thesciences, beginning with Aristotle and later with Rene Descartes, religiositywas separated from the development of scientific research. Aristotle'sphilosophy dominated European thought from the twelfth century but the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenthcenturies changes this situation, inserting changes in the scientific methods.No doubt that Science is one of the voices of human culture however, in notadmitting the strength of faith, especially in the medical field andspecifically in treatments for restoring human health, science fails to partakein one of the most beautiful forms of integration of man with life. In the U.S.,researchers in Neurobiology say they have located at the brain's limbic systemthe triggering of religious experiences. This brain region links experiences inour emotional world, and the tests performed on Buddhist monks and Catholicnuns showed intense brain activity when in a state of meditation andprayer. In Brazil, the neuroscientist Ricardo Leme, MD, associated tothe Spiritist Medical Association of Brazil, calls for the development offeelings of gratitude to life, what he calls the ultimate gift (of God), he callsfor love exemplified by Jesus, for the physical, emotional and spiritualwell-being, because these states of mind act on neurotransmitters andendorphins facilitating the maintenance of health and even the cure ofdiseases. According to him, the study of the neurobiology of faith might be theextra tool when searching for something lacking in humanity for its moreharmonious functioning as a whole. Jesus of Nazareth in his journey of peace on Earth used tosay to the sick healed by his love, "your faith has healed you".However he added: "but do not sin again" as a warning to the greatresponsibility we have towards the gift of Life and the opportunity ofreincarnating, granted to us by the immense love of God.

The Portuguese word confidence comes from the LatinCONFIDENTIA of CONFIDERE, "to fully and firmly believe," formed byCOM that intensifies, plus FIDERE, "believe, trow," which derivesfrom FIDES, "faith". The same etymology is found in English,CONFIDENCE, which also derives from Latin; in French, CONFIANCE; in Italian,FIDUCIA of FIDERE, same translation as above; CONFIANZA in Spanish, and so on.This way we can understand that the word reminds us of the universal posture ofcertainty, conviction, determination, strength, safety, and more, hope, faith,optimism, and still, liveliness and resilience. There is no doubt that thewords have influence on our lives and serve as a stimulus to our behaviour inthe face of adversity. However,words and the stimuli raised by words should not be taken only as pills of optimism,as if they were miracle drugs that give us the solution to our problems. Wordsare the result of the elaboration of thought and, as such, should express thegood feelings that we bring with us. When we say this, we do not claim
