Science and Theology: Befriending Each Other Epistemically The author wants to indicate the need for dialogue between science and religion for the sake of human wellbeing. Science and theology have ever been the two most powerful and influential enterprises of humans determining the properties of their very being and defining the destiny of the humanity at large. The dictums and contours of the world of their meaning have been extensively processed by science and theology. The apparent dissonance between them, as was vivid in the past and even today, leaves one amused as to their meaningmaking task besides raising several serious fundamental questions. Given the interwoven and overarching framework of their enquiry, what justification is there for the discordant note that they strike with each other? The tension between the religious experience and the quest for an absolute and certain knowledge, does it betray a fundamental dichotomy in the very structure of our rationality or our failure to reconcile the seemingly opposing elements of our knowledge-process? The belief in the fundamental unity of human rationality and the concern of science and theology with fundamental questions refuse to admit a fundamental dichotomy at their conceptual domains. There can be no tension between truth and truth. Once we discover the unitary conceptual grounds and frameworks of interaction, we will be able to identify the real problem in the apparent discordance between science and theology. The author argues that the assimilation and integration between science and religion becomes an imperative for the humanity as well. He agrees with Whitehead that “When we consider what religion is for mankind, and what science is, it is no exaggeration to say that the future course of history depends upon the decision of this generation as to the relations between them”
