	Science
		Science (from scientia, Latin for "knowledge") has come to mean a body of knowledge, or a method of study devoted to developing this body of knowledge, concerning the universe gained through methodological observation and experimentation.
		The term "science" is sometimes pressed into service for new and interdisciplinary fields that make use of scientific methods at least in part, and which in any case aspire to be systematic and careful explorations of their subjects, including computer science, library and information science, and environmental science.
		One of the key differences between religion and science is that scientists are willing (and sometimes, enthusiastic) to change their beliefs when new facts and compelling logic are presented.

		The relationship between religion and natural science, as the history of their interaction reveals, is in fact a very complex matter.
		Viewed from the broadest possible vantage point, the history of science and religion initially divides into the two eras that are reflected in the classical struggle between "the ancients and the moderns." The historical watershed dividing these two periods defines a third basic historical period, the so-called Scientific Revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		Before summarizing the basic contours of the nineteenth century evaluation of science and religion, especially in reference to the theory of evolution, it is important to note that an alternative voice was beginning to be heard as the century dawned.

	Science in Christian Perspective
		Fundamental to this strategy is the belief that the conflict between religion and science is largely the result of exaggerated claims on the part of scientists and proponents of religion.
		The approach to religion and science that simply pleads for tolerance or that scurries about on an ad hoc basis from one specific problem to another is doomed to failure because it does not reach down to the foundational level.
		Second, attempts at solving the conflict between religion and science that accommodate religion to science without a sense of the validity and integrity of religion are ultimately self defeating.

		Although his writings are credited with laying the intellectual groundwork for a dialogue between science and religion, Barbour's admirers point out that the conduct of his life and career has been crucial to overcoming deep-seated resistance to a relationship between the two spheres.

	Religion and Science
		Towards a Working Relationship: However may we understand religion and science, common sense suggests at least one thing: both make claims concerning the way things were, are and will be, as well as concerning what is the case.
		A second way to establish a working relationship between religion and science is to say that theological doctrines and scientific theories are not seeking to maintain the same points but that, in certain fundamental instances, science supports religion and needs it for its intellectual completion.
		If science were to show that all events, including human decisions, occurred according to strict necessity, inside a closed deterministic mechanism, there would be little left of the religious conclusion that the purpose in reality is in part to allow human beings to develop as creative and morally responsible free agents.
