Science and Religion - Across Faiths and Time Periods

The relationship between science and religion is the subject of much debate in the scientific, philosophical and theological communities. This book is a survey of religious leaders' disposition towards science (and vice versa) throughout history and parallels between passages in religious scriptures and modern science. The intersection between science and religion is explored in four religious traditions, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism. Contemporary views regarding the intersection, or lack thereof, between science and religion is described. The finishes with an appeal to continue the attempts to find bridges between science and religion. This book argues that by having a systematic dialogue between science and religion we have a better chance of providing theoretical constructs that address weighty questions faced by humanity such as our origin, the mystery of life and the development of conscience.
