Resumen
Se propone estudiar la influencia de las condiciones externas más cercanas a una comunidad científica sobre las creencias personales a las que se tienden a acoger los individuos que forman parte de esta comunidad. Para esto se realiza un recorrido histórico, primero, partiendo desde el origen de las religiones en las civilizaciones más antiguas, segundo, comentando el impacto del determinismo impulsado por la mecánica newtoniana y, finalmente, advirtiendo un retorno al misticismo provocado por la falta de una interpretación completa de la mecánica cuántica. Se concluye que existe una correlación significativa entre el estado de la ciencia en un periodo en particular y las creencias que mantienen los individuos de la comunidad científica asociada a tal periodo.
