science vs religion: the inevitable battle examining the conflict thesis
Bookmarked 749 weeks ago
a visual explanation by quotwhat isquot media we create simple explanatory videos for important and complex topics--script---are science and religion in conflicthave you got the notion from pop-culture that science and religion are in constant conflict like two rival boxers vying for the title of heavy weight champ we039re reminded about the catholic church039s opposition to galileo the scopes trial and more recently the creation evolution debate or discussions around stem cell researchit039s called the conflict thesis and holds that religion and science has and always will be in conflict throughout history and it was made popular in the late 1800039s by john william draper and andrew dickson white however today much of the scholarship that the conflict thesis was first based on is considered to be inaccurate an example is the claim that people of the middle ages widely believed that the earth was flat that idea is still very common in popular culture but this claim is mistaken as historians today know quotthere was scarcely a christian scholar of the middle ages who did not acknowledge that earth was a sphere and even knew its approximate circumferencequotregarding the model in itself historical research indicates that religion has a much more complex and close relationship with science than the conflict thesis acknowledgestoday historians know that many scientific developments such as kepler039s laws were explicitly driven by religious ideas and organizationsbut one reason for the current appeal of the conflict thesis is the existence of ongoing debates that seem to follow a pattern of religion versus science or religion versus what some claim to be social progress where this supposed progress is linked in some way to science or technology but hopefully as time passes so will the misinformation because to the nonpartisan both science and religion have important parts to play in our world science tells us how the world works and religion tells us why
