The relationship between science and religion has been explained by philosophers,
theologians, scientists and others. The views varied according to geographical
regions, cultures and the historical era. Some describe the relationship as a
kind of conflict, others describe it in harmony, others see little Of
interaction between religion and science.
Most of the scientific and technical innovations before the
scientific revolution were achieved by societies organized by religious
traditions. There are examples of the complementary relationship between
religion and science, such as the scientific foundations developed by the
Muslim scholar Ibn al-Haytham during the Islamic Golden Age, and Roger Bacon,
who was a Franciscan monk, In addition, Hinduism embraced the historical system
of causation and experimentation, arguing that science brings legitimate
knowledge, while Confucianism embraced different views of science over time.
Today, most Buddhists consider science to be the Complementary to their beliefs.
The ancient Indians and Greeks classified the material world
into classical elements, air, fire, water, and their interpretation was more
philosophic.
Personally, I think that the debate between science and
religion is a permanent one, because people's perceptions about this conflict
are more related to their perceptions of the beliefs of others than their
personal beliefs.
