About this title

Synopsis

From time immemorial to the present day, science and scriptures have had the strongest influence on shaping mankind history and development, science based on observation and facts, and scriptures, or religion in general, based mainly on blind faith. This has led to a divergent worldview of the two, concerning common issues, for example life and death, evolution and creation, and cause and effect. The polarity between the two continues to widen, with scientists looking upon religion as something dogmatic and fatalistically devoid of any hypothetical construction that can be verified by physical research. Religionists, on the other hand, have viewed science as a materialistic philosophy that advocates reductionism. This book will show, by invoking the Qur’an, Bible and diverse scientific disciplines, that bias on both sides is the root of the conflicts, and it shows how science and scriptures are, mutual friends, rather than opposing foes.
