What is the essential relationship between religion and science?

Science is a knowledge system that reflects objective laws, scientific knowledge germinated in the early social practice of human beings, and ancient civilization has included many factors for the development of modern science. Due to the historical limitations of human social practice and understanding, ancient scientific knowledge has been attached to the natural philosophical system that has not yet gotten rid of imagination and speculation in the way of thinking for a long historical period, and has even been parasitic in religious mythology. In the Middle Ages, science became a branch of theology.

The historical mixed state of science and religion gradually disintegrated with the development of human social practice and understanding, and science differentiated from the natural philosophical system and religious mythology and became an empirical science. In 1543, Copernicus's book The Motions of the Heavenly Bodies was published, which was the first proclamation of a complete break between the worldview of modern science and religion. Since then, natural science has begun to emancipate itself from religious theology, the development of science has made great strides, and science and religion have embarked on the road of open conflict.

Science and religion are essentially opposites. Science does not recognize any supernatural forces, and opposes the use of supernatural causes and forces to prove any natural phenomenon and its development. Religion, by its very nature, is the worship of supernatural forces, the belief that supernatural gods and gods dominate the world.

The nature of religion determines that it denies the inevitability and laws of objective existence. The affirmation and denial of supernatural forces determine that the opposition between religion and science is irreconcilable. In terms of methods of understanding, religion and science are also fundamentally different.

The natural sciences start from the various forms of reality and motion of matter, to understand the various connections of things, and to prove them empirically as much as possible. The basic method by which religions recognize the object of their belief is bereavement, relying on supra-experience, super-rational revelation or mystical intuition. Religion and science are also very different in terms of their role in society.

The development of science and technology has created huge social productive forces, thus promoting the development of society. Marxism regards science as a revolutionary force in the highest sense. Although religion has also played a special role in promoting social development through religious movements under specific historical conditions, generally speaking, religion is a conservative factor in historical development.

Because religion tends to regard the existing social system as the embodiment of divine will, as something sacrosanct.

The purpose of religion and science is the same, they use different methods to understand and explain the world, and both are for the sake of a healthier and happier human life. The difference is that religion perceives the changes and changes of the world from within, while science studies the development and changes of the material world from the outside. The essence of spirit (mind) is the movement of energy masses, and energy is another manifestation of matter, and this conclusion is given in its entirety by Einstein's theory of relativity.

Therefore, religion and science, just like the south slope and the north slope, can climb Mount Everest, but the scenery they see on the road is different, and those who walk on the south slope should not criticize those who walk on the north slope for seeing the wrong scenery.

Science is knowledge, and its essence is the summary of human experience. Human civilization has been documented, but it is only 5,000 years, and with only 5,000 years of scientific knowledge, it seems impossible to completely explain the boundless universe. Oral legends were often considered myths, which were also too subjective.

is wrong.

Only by thoroughly understanding the inner relationship between the three can we let go of the burden in our hearts and walk more steadily and diligently on the road of exploring the inner world.

In essence, religion and science should still be a question of which is the primacy of matter or consciousness, religion belongs to idealism, and science belongs to materialism to a certain extent.

The science of education is essentially a relationship of faith, of speech, and of using science to prove that religious belief is not true.

Religion can be said to be man's initial thinking about the world, the world has too many unknowns and uncontrollable for man, and finally man replaces all his thinking with one thing, after all, there is no instrument at that time, and when we want to 'prove', we often can't get the answer. We can even sometimes think of religion as a combination of science and morality.

At this point, we may be able to come back to 'science'Science is logical, empirical, and well-founded. It can accept assumptions, but it does not mean that it can 'talk nonsense' without substantiation, at least there must be some basis.

Its essence is also the nature of the universe, but it also has usability, to put it bluntly, most of it has a purpose, at least it is responsible for its investors.

Philosophy is often somewhere in between. As Mr. Cai Yuanpei said: beauty can replace religion. Beauty here is aesthetics, a branch of Western philosophy.

Or, to put it another way, 'truth' may be the God of philosophy, but we can challenge him.

On the basis of science, philosophy has added a lot of propositions that belong to human beings, such as life and society. Compared with the indirectness of science to life, it has a more direct effect on human life, and at the same time, it also has a negative effect on science and other fields.
