Are Science and Religion/Islam compatible with each other? Or must they be separate as if operating in two very different and almost non-overlapping spheres? Could scientists be believers, or does embracing modern science also mean embracing a certain atheistic or agnostic viewpoint in one’s personal life? Should choosing to do science force an individual to live and practice in a never-ending series of contradictions or could a ‘reconciliation’ of sorts be achieved that allows one to practice both his or her religion and modern science without explicitly or implicitly denying either or both? What are the parameters of such a reconciliation? Whatare the key flashpoints where science and religion appear to clash with each other and how men and women of science and faith seek to explain or reconcile their differences?
