Science and religion

Science and religion

Is there a conflict between science and religion? Or do they converge in the explanation of the universe?
There were at least two major disputes between science and religion that had a lasting impact on both disciplines.
  • The conflict between Galileo and the Pope over the church's belief that the earth was the center of the universe. 
  • The conflict between Charles Darwin and religion about the origin of the different species of animals, including humankind.
