En savoir plus sur le livre

This work examines the intricate relationship between religion and science, focusing on Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and various secular ideologies, including Marxism. It integrates other faiths where relevant and explores the doctrine of eugenics, which highlights the complexities of this relationship, especially during the Nazi era. Building on previous research, the author combines anecdotes, scriptural analysis, and practical exploration while comparing the lives and beliefs of scientists and religious figures. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach and numerous case studies, the book addresses seven fundamental questions: Are religion and science mutually exclusive? Do divine beings exist? Are they different forms of truth? What roles do they play in society? Can science offer a robust ethical framework? What are their futures? Can they collaborate to tackle existential challenges? Ultimately, the author argues that science and religion can coexist harmoniously on a moral level, with the main impediment to human progress being the prevailing neo-liberal system that fosters inequality and social division. Written in an accessible style, the book targets general readers, including secularists and individuals of various faiths, while also appealing to experts due to its unique perspective and diverse evidence.
