The scope of science and religion
Scientific knowledge is generally related to methodology and process, for example, how the universe was formed, how earthquakes occur, whereas religious knowledge is related to purpose and meaning, for example, the purpose of the creation of the universe and man, the purpose and meaning of life, man's moral existence, etc.
Scientists and religious scholars should also study social sciences, ethics, spirituality, and psychology simultaneously. Apart from history, science, and modern sciences, religious intellect and consciousness are insufficient. Not every matter is religious, nor does science have the answer to every question. Man is actually a holistic being. He is not just a rational being, but also possesses intuitive and psychological states, historical consciousness, criteria for likes and dislikes, and moral and aesthetic senses. The problem arises when, in a person or in a period of human history, the influence of only one faculty increases so much that other faculties of the human or humanity are overlooked and become incapable of practical expression. The point is that the scientific mind and religious consciousness are not in conflict but can go hand in hand, provided that our positioning, angling, or academic approach is correct and balanced.
