Miguel de Unamuno´s science reflections are defined in different debates which must be distinguished. His stance about science is much more complex than it is believed when his thinking is summarized in the following sentence: ¨let them invent!». This manuscript presents Unamuno´s evolution (from 1984 to 1906) and analyzes some texts in which he appreciated science positively. Finally, some of the Unamuno´s thoughts that he planified to develop in his work ¨Religion and Science¨ (around 1902) are emphasized. Hence, Don Miguel defends the need to develop our intellectual and spiritual dimension to be able to have a more plenty life.
