There was no conflict between science and religion ever. The conflicts were actually between two different systems of human understanding — one was science, which was based on rigorous observations and examinations, and the other was fundamentalism, that’s based on undisputed belief on the scriptures.

About This Quote

When there was no conflict between religion and science, what did religion say? There are many religious people who are against science. The religion people say that the world is flat, sun revolves around the earth, human beings were created by God, people are not the same as animals etc. What will be the point of believing in God if there is no conflict between religion and science? Science does not contradict religion. The conflicts are actually between two different systems of understanding - one system is based on observation and examination, the other system is based on indisputable belief on the scriptures.
