Protestant Reformation and modern science' was the central topic of the December seminar , organized by the group Science, Reason and Faith (CRYF) of the University of Navarra. It counted with the participation of Professor Pablo de Felipe, professor of science and faith at the School of Theology SEUT (Madrid) and coordinator of the Center of Science and Faith of the same School, belonging to the Federico Fliedner Foundation.

On the occasion of the fifth centenary of Luther's 95 thesis , Professor De Felipe reviewed the relationship between Protestantism and modern science, especially in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, criticizing simplistic perspectives on these relationships.

In his speech, the professor of the School of Theology SEUT emphasized the "complex reaction" of Catholics and Protestants to Copernicanism. He also focused on the interpretation of biblical texts, an issue which, according to De Felipe, "conditioned the relationship of Christian scientists with Copernican astronomy, and which continues to be important today, with parallels in other controversies, such as that of the origins".

A chemist and PhD in Molecular Biology from the Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain), De Felipe has worked on the medical applications of biotechnology, in particular for cancer gene therapy. Between 2001 and 2008 he worked as a researcher postdoctoral fellow in virology and biotechnology for the University of St. Andrews (UK) and, subsequently, as a specialist in biotechnological drugs for the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products of the Ministry of Health until 2016 (currently on leave of absence).

Pablo de Felipe is an associate of the Faraday Institute (University of Cambridge, UK) and is doing a doctorate in programs of study Classics at the University of Reading (UK) with a research on the historical origins of the idea of conflict between science and Christianity.
