The relationship between religion and science best illustrates the emergence of specialization without insight into other knowledge and without the ability to reflect on one’s own knowledge by relating it to other knowledge and facts. Mention the word “God” to scientists and most people’s hair stands on end. Mention the word “genome” to believers and you get confused looks. Few are those who approach both topics with equal respect. And at the moment, both are stuck in a dead end from which the way out is barely in sight.

“Look at all the things we don’t know! We don’t know how the brain works. We don’t know what memory is. We don’t know what aging is.”[1]

Gregory Chaitin

“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.”[2]

 

Scientists have long concluded that it is very likely that a turning point in their current understanding of reality will come from the realm of the unexpected. And believers have even longer had available instructions about the importance of acquiring knowledge.

“You must be prepared for a surprise, and a very great surprise.”[3]

Niels Bohr

“Objective knowledge provides us with powerful instruments for the achievements of certain ends, but the ultimate goal itself and the longing to reach it must come from another source.”[4]

Albert Einstein

“The best form of loyalty to Allah (swt) is the pursuit of knowledge.”[5]

 

What if understanding the messages from the Holy Books is necessary for the progress of science? What if the progress of science is necessary to understand the messages from the Holy Books? What if only together they can offer meaningful answers to all the questions that have always troubled us and push humanity in the right direction?

“There are two things which I abhor, the learned in his infidelities, and the fool in his devotions.”[6]

Muhammad
