Many people today believe that faith and reason are incompatible and completely opposed to one another, but through the ages, science has learned from religion and vice versa. The presenters will point out some historical examples of the interaction of science and religion in Western culture, examine the limitations of each, and suggest how important it is for cooperation between the two in the present age.
