The Incompatibility of Science and Religion
Which is it? Stephen Jay Gould used the term ‘non-overlapping magisteria’ in 1999 to attempt to reconcile the conflict between science and religion (two important concepts, or ‘magisteria’). Supporters of this idea believe that science and religion offer two different types of truth and can co-exist without conflict. They see science as dealing solely with empirical evidence and the natural world but offering no guidance on ethical issues; whereas religion restricts itself to addressing morals and values.
