Science and religion are commonly perceived to be mutually exclusive contradiction in terms, as it were. Both the methods and the points of science and religion seem to be different. While science is linked to the material, religion is concerned with the spiritual. On the face of it the scope, sphere and method of science and religion are different and exclude each other. Science is objective while religion is subjective; Science relies on experiment, religion on experience; Over the ages a conflict has developed between science and religion. But science does not have the answer to everything. Science without religion gives rise to materialism and other ills of life. There is no real conflict between science and religion. The approach is different but the goal is the same. The conflict between science and religion is superficial. There is no real antagonism between the two. Science and religion have apparently different aims and objectives, yet in fact they are closely related and act and depend on each other.

Science deals with the world that we know, the material world that is more bended by the senses. Religion is concerned with a supra-mundane world - a world that we cannot say to know. Science believes in things that can be proved. Religion is preoccupied with ideas that have to be accepted without proof. Science depends on reasons and religion on intuition. The scientist works in the laboratory of the material world, the religious teacher works within the recesses of his personal experiences. Religion begins where science ends.

Science is concerned with 'how’ of reality whereas religion is concerned with the ‘why’ of reality. Science takes up the tangible entities and analyze them into their minutest parts, and then comes to conclusions regarding  it. Which tangible realities are organized. In brief, science is analytical. On the other hand religion takes the reality for granted. The path of religion is metaphysical. Indeed, religion pursuing the path of metaphysics postulate the concept of are odd but even then, at the highest level of religious consciousness. The concept of God in matter of faith. And this faith enables the religious man to attribute a design or meaning to the reality. Thus, science is analytical in approach whereas religion is synthetical approach.
