TRADITION-INNOVATION IN SCIENCE AND RELIGION ENCOUNTER
Abstract
Science and religion are two forces that determine the destiny of human race in every age. While science has a history of innovation, religion keeps tradition and status quo; hence, the relationship of the two is marked with a conflict. The balancing of the two forces with their divergent approach to one and the same truth is, therefore, marred with complexity in all societies and ages. In order to critically analyse the two, one must, therefore, be conscious of the third law of motion that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction be it to tradition or innovation. In view of safeguarding a sound and integrated future, there must be a vigorous and enlightening intellectual exchange of both tradition and innovation aimed at attaining truth. Let innovation tell the structure of the universe and religion set law of nature and all would be relevant to all ages and in all societies.
