The term "knowledge" is difficult to understand when we want to define it. This is why "knowledge" has been reconstructed as a cluster concept that points out relevant features but that is not adequately captured by any definition. As long as knowledge can only be situated in forms of time, it is doomed to remain truncated and to manifest disjointly. Knowledge's lack of unity is expressed into different forms of knowledge. Fragmented by the cutouts that allowed its manifestation, knowledge is - whatever type of knowledge we talk about - incomplete, subjective, limited, and fragmentary and, in most cases, it is not possible to understand exhaustively a specific domain. That is why, in this paper, we pursue a transdisciplinary exercise, involving science and religion, and an interdisciplinary one, involving disciplines and theories found in the complex systems theory.
