Tiddy Smith argues that the conflict between science and religion is ultimately a disagreement about what kinds of methods we should use for investigating the world. Specifically, scientists and religious folk disagree over which belief-forming methods are reliable. In the course of justifying any scientific claim, scientists typically appeal to methods which generate agreement between independent investigators, and which converge on the same answers to the same questions. In contrast, religious claims are typically justified by methods which neither generate agreement nor converge in their results (for example, dreams, visions, mystical experiences etc.). This fundamental difference in methodologies can neatly account for the conflict between science and religion.
Science and Religion in the Era of William James: Eclipse of certainty, 1820-1880
In this cultural biography, Paul Croce investigates the contexts surrounding the early intellectual development of American philosopher William James (1842-1910). Croce places the young James at the center of key scientific and religious debates in Americ
Science of Religion and Religion of Science
This book is about the ignorance of the learned. Of all the civilisations of the world, India’s was one of the oldest and most scientific, but it met its grave in the land of its birth at the hands of its own people. Religion was deliberately misconstrued by sinister and vested interests for commercial gains and to hold sway over the people. The result – we are now a nation of mental weaklings. Other religions of the world fare no better. The Church ruled science. Galileo’s case is exemplary. Islam’s cut-throat fundamentalism spearheaded by ISIS and al-Qaeda is a certain danger to the survival of humanity. Should they lay their hands on a nuclear bomb, it will be curtains for the world. For sure. This is not religion. The root cause of this evil is our misconception of true religion and true science. These are great forces working in consonance with each other. At the Big Bang, there was one unifying force. Science and religion unify the laws of nature. Religion is the code of right conduct, and science is the code of right application of natural laws. Both are complementary to each other. If you and your generation want to live without fear of impending doom, appreciate this harmony of science and religion built in the universe. This should be the law written on the conscience of the people. No conflict. No pain.
