Science is grounded with doubt and tries to answer question step by steps. The knowledge province of science is proximate (Corresponding theory). Moreover, science has got a self-correcting mechanism. Scientific believe only on valid things that can be subjected to tests through rigorous methods. Philosophers of science have attempted to demarcate science from other knowledge-seeking endeavors, in particular religion. For instance, Karl Popper claimed that scientific hypotheses (unlike religious ones) are in principle falsifiable. This means that Popper believed that in order for a theory to be scientific, it had to be falsifiable. Religion based on faith. The knowledge province of religion is ultimate and is absolute, based on the revelation–absolute truth and unchanged. Faith is belief in inspiration, revelation, and authority. For a long time, there has been a debate going on about what constitutes the relationship between religion and science.
There are many different ways to look at the connections between religion and science. In this Essay, therefore, varies degrees of conflict and compatibility of Faith (religious) with rationality (science) was analyzed. Specifically, the possible interaction between science and religion was assessed by using some blocks of concepts such as nature and justification of science’s and religion’s knowledge; practise of science and religion; historical and contemporary beneficiary relationships between science and religion; scientific and religious’ world view, and dichotomy. The nature of both scientific knowledge and the interpreted religious knowledge are changeable or modifiable. Similarly, both scientific and religious (most) knowledge allow their verification rationally. Historically interaction between science and religion, Christianity religious as the fountainhead of modern science and it the greatest opponent of scientific progress. In modern era, in which science and technology advanced, religion has benefitted from science and technology. Whereas science and religious are independent at institutional level and also on ontological/metaphysical issues with which science is too mature to deal.
