How can the very different worlds of science and religion communicate effectively? Religion requires faith, belief without question. Science demands we take nothing on faith, reject any anecdotal evidence. How might these seemingly opposed disciplines collaborate to improve public understanding of science and impact pending policy making without undermining spiritual well being? Are scholars from both disciplines engineering the needed bridges?
科学与宗教这两个截然不同的领域如何才能有效地进行沟通?宗教需要信仰,即毫无疑问的信念。科学则要求我们不凭信仰行事,摒弃任何传闻证据。这两个看似对立的学科如何合作,在不损害精神福祉的前提下,增进公众对科学的理解并影响即将出台的政策制定?来自这两个学科的学者们是否正在搭建所需的桥梁?
