It is a popular belief that science and religion do not work together, in fact most of the time, science is believed to work to disprove religion. The contrast is often times based on the argument that science involves facts and evidence, while religion involves only beliefs and emotions. The negative connotation is thus placed on the religious ideology due to the lack of rational evidence supporting religions in contrast to scientific evidence.
As I have said before as long as Islam isn't used as a political ideology we can make them work together for an example the Islamic Golden Age:
The Islamic Golden Age (622 - 1258) represents a time in history when the power of Islam allowed a flourishing of intellectual development. The Islamic empires were based on trade, as opposed to Christian society's focus on agrarian landlords. This, combined with the dominance of Arabic-African and Arabic-Asian trade routes, allowed the Muslim people to be exposed to a wide range of ideas and scholars, and allowed for the foundations of intellectual growth.
I am also concerned that Islam is turning into a political ideology instead of a Religion which explains the no science issue.
Algebra is invented.(c. 830)
Muhammad bin Musa al-Kwarizmi publishes The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing, which forms the basis for algebra. This revolutionizes mathematics, which has previously been based solely on geometry, and opens many new ways of thinking in the field.
Islam is not the issue but rather the followers in this day and age, In today’s society the idea of religion and science going hand in hand is not easy to see. Younger generations, especially, have a negative perception of religion through the media. Media, like tv shows and movies generally portray religion as several extremely conservative ideas that may not make sense and that serve the purpose of comedy. In contrast, science is usually portrayed as a means of progress and ideas for the future.
Though religions and science may not support each other directly, the two of them can coexist. There is a harmonious space between the faith and facts where scientific evidence may explain something that the Bible does not, and where the Bible has explanations for things that no science has been able to explain. The popular notion that science works to disprove religion would be impossible. It is easier to disprove a miracle than to disprove the entire faith. This is because even if a miracle is proved to be otherwise, since it does not add anything to the faith and people aren’t required to believe in them, faith remains stable. Miracles are all about perspective, just like how even the most religious of people cannot ever be certain of their religion, yet they choose to believe. All in all, even though is science can disprove miracles and small religious claims, the disapproval of such actually works with the catholic faith as a whole to improve individual’s faith and its impact on others.
