The historical relationship between science and religion has taken many forms.

The historical relationship between science and religion has taken many forms. It can surely be affirmed that science has at times lent great support to religion and that religious men and women have made remarkable contributions in many scientific fields. Similarly, it is easy to point to certain times and occasions when science and religion have been in open conflict and men and women of science have come under fire from religious institutions. In today’s world, the relationship between science and religion is hardly black-and-white, and different religions embrace the scientific enterprise and its results in different ways. That said, it is fair to note a continuing antagonism between certain domains and presuppositions of science and certain kinds of religious faith, particularly here in America. (Consider, for example, the perennial debate over evolution and intelligent design.) What do you think about the so-called “warfare of science and religion” in the modern world? When and why does science come into competition with religious faith (or with a certain kind of religious faith)? Is there a way to think about the roles of each that avoids the rivalry?
