Complementarity or conflict between science and religion? Prof.

Ionescu Bianca, Scoala Gimnaziala Nicolae Romanescu Craiova, Romania Prof. Chiva Ana Iulia, Scoala Gimnaziala Elena Farago Craiova, Romania From the earliest times, man has been constantly asking himself about the problem of his origin, and this is onli one of the questions with long researched answers. First we can distinguish two apparently conflicting viewpoints, namely, the idea that man has evolved from the lower animal state to state he is in today as Charles Darwin's thought and the idea that man was created by God from the beginning as he is today. This problem is not the only one and the most common of the many dilemmas facing modern society when we talk about the two main areas that should, in our view, support each other completing one another. An opinion of many man is that religion should distance itself from science, limit itself only to the concept of moralilty and value systems. But the Ascension the Virgin Mary, Jesus' resurrection, life after death are far from being merely moral issues and values, they are scientific facts. There is still a connection between the two. Science, by its breathtaking leaps, left behind moral progress and thus ended up around some dangerous truths of human existence (nuclear physics and genetic engineering taken to extremes are just two examples of this). That's why you need moral "refference". Religion should suggest ways to use the knowledge born of science and by no means try to impose impossible truths. It remains clear that one can not strictly rationlly demonstrate the existence or non-existence of God. Only personal experience of faith is to find an answer about God. People need to accept religion as a form of communication, not only the supreme power, and science as a form of knowledge of the truth deduced theoretically and experimentally. If science dealis with the outside world and provides humans information to enrich their knowledge, even to the exclusion of moral values and messages (which, today, is required of the scientist), faith religion, deals with the inner world of man, giving him the ability to understand what science knows through his understanding of the role of moral values, the human sense of scientific discovery is essential. So the answer to the question weather there is complementarity or conflict between science and religion is that there is a certain contradiction between them but there is also harmonious coexistence of the two that serves universal balance.
