Harmony of science and religion

From Bahai9
Jump to:navigation, search

Science and religion are the two basic knowledge systems on which human consciousness depends for expression of its potentialities (especially effective when working, in their own spheres, in concert)[edit]

"Throughout recorded history, human consciousness has depended upon two basic knowledge systems through which its potentialities have progressively been expressed: science and religion. Through these two agencies, the race's experience has been organized, its environment interpreted, its latent powers explored, and its moral and intellectual life disciplined. They have acted as the real progenitors of civilization. With the benefit of hindsight, it is evident, moreover, that the effectiveness of this dual structure has been greatest during those periods when, each in its own sphere, religion and science were able to work in concert."

(Bahá'í International Community, Prosperity of Humankind, par. 36)
