PASSAGE 3
Many people believe that science and religion are
contrary to each other. But this notion is wrong. As a matter
of fact, both are complementary to each other. The aim of
both these institutions is to explain different aspects of life,
universe and human existence. There is no doubt that the
methods of science and religion are different. The method of
science is observation, experimentation and experience.
Science takes its recourse to progressive march towards
perfection, the rules of religion are faith, intuition and spoken
word of the enlightened, in general, while science is inclined
towards reason and rationality, spiritualism is the essence of
religion. In earlier times when man appeared on earth, he
was over-awed at the sight of violent and powerful aspects of
nature. In certain cases, the usefulness of different natural
objects of nature overwhelmed man. Thus began the worship
of forces of nature-fire, the sun, the rivers, the rocks, the trees,
the snakes, etc. The holy scriptures were written by those
who had developed harmony between external nature and their
inner self. Their object was to ennoble, elevate and liberate
the human spirit and mind. But the priestly class took upon
itself the monopoly of scriptural knowledge and interpretation
to its own advantage. Thus the entire human race was in
chains. Truth was flouted and progressive, liberal and truthful
ideas or ideas expressing doubt and skepticism were
suppressed and their holders punished. It was in these trying
circumstances the science emerged as a saviour of mankind.
But its path was not smooth and safe. The scientists and free
thinkers were tortured. This was the fate of Copernicus,
Galileo, Bruno and others. But, by and by science gained
ground.
