The Bunsen gas burner is today one of the most known scientific instruments. It is undoubtedly one of instantly recognizable symbols of modern science. Although invention of this type of burner is usually attributed to Robert Bunsen, well-known German chemist, the genesis of its original design, as it seems, has not been fully elucidated by historians of science. This paper presents detailed context of invention of this type of burner and in particular takes into account an important contribution to its design by Peter Desaga, little known German scientific instrument maker and mechanician at the University of Heidelberg. The paper gives several convincing arguments thatR. Bunsen was the originator (auteur intellectuel) of the burner, whereas Desaga was its actual designer and constructor (auteur matériel). A detailed investigation of the context of invention of the Bunsen burner is also an opportunity to sketch the character of a remark -able and unique relationship between scientists and craftsmen in the nineteenth century. The paper concludes with a discussion of the problem of so-called invisible technician (term due to S. Shapin) in the historiography of science.

The impact of christian theism on the understanding of science and the relationship between the natural and the supernatural realm during the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, and the thesis of the inherent conflict between science and religion The carried out analyses show the inadequacy of a widespread thesis, due to the works of John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White, on the resulting from the nature of these two fields conflict between science and religion. The above thesis is contradicted by the role in the Christian theism doctrine of scientific revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the article, I present by what means in modern European culture the influence of the dominance of the Christian theism on the concept of science was expressed and the relationship between science and religion as adopted by the forerunners of modern science. I point out that the Christian doctrine of creation was primarily a source of basic assumptions about the existence of the natural order and the faith in the possibility of recognizing it by men. A reference to the concept of a supernatural Creator- Lawmaker served as an explanation of the general characteristics of nature. The analysis of the nature and attributes of God was also included into the scope of the natural philosophy. Apart from that, the Christian theism was used to justify the desirability of research, the choice of a particular methodology, the decisions among competing theories and was a source of detailed explanations of events and features of natural objects. The natural theology drew on arguments proving the existence of the Creator from natural studies. The above presented image of science in the 16th-17th centuries and the role of Christian theism at its contemporary stage of development allows for arguing that the thesis on the „innate” conflict between science and religion, allegedly resulting for the nature of these two fields, is incorrect.
