The conflict thesis, at least in its simple form, is now widely perceived as a wholly inadequate intellectual framework within which to construct a sensible and realistic historiography of Western science
In the late Victorian period it was common to write about the 'warfare between science and religion' and to presume that the two bodies of culture must always have been in conflict. However, it is a very long time since these attitudes have been held by historians of science.
In its traditional forms, the conflict thesis has been largely discredited.
... while [John Hedley] Brooke's view [of a complexity thesis rather than an historical conflict thesis] has gained widespread acceptance among professional historians of science, the traditional view remains strong elsewhere, not least in the popular mind.
The presence or absence of a creative super-intelligence is unequivocally a scientific question, even if it is not in practice—or not yet—amenable to scientific resolution. So also is the truth or falsehood of every one of the world's religions.
Recently, however the Pontiff stated that because the Church considers acts of prostitution and homosexuality to be gravely immoral and disordered, in such specific cases use of a condom might become an initial step in the direction of a moralization leading to an assumption of responsibility and a new awareness of the meaning of sexuality.
Some scientifically well-established results - such as the fact that emission of greenhouse gases produces global warming - are rejected by sizable proportions of the population in the United States and other countries. Rejection scientific findings is mostly driven by motivated cognition: People tend to reject findings that threaten their core belief or worldview.
a close reading of survey data shows that while large majorities of Americans respect science and scientists, they are not always willing to accept scientific findings that squarely contradict their religious beliefs. Furthermore, where scientific evidence and long-held religious belief come into direct conflict, many Americans reject science in favor of the teachings of their faith tradition.
“ Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts. According to this interpretation the well-known conflicts between religion and science in the past must all be ascribed to a misapprehension of the situation which has been described.”“ a conflict arises when a religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the Bible.”“this is where the struggle of the Church against the doctrines of Galileo and Darwin belongs.”“The main source of the present-day conflicts between the spheres of religion and of science lies in this concept of a personal God.”
‘Faith’is a broad term, appearing in locutions that express a range of different concepts. At its most general ‘faith’ means much the same as ‘trust’. ... Philosophical accounts are almost exclusively about theistic religious faith—faith in God—and they generally, though not exclusively, deal with faith as understood within the Christian branch of the Abrahamic traditions.
