Science and the Bahá’í Faith

FEATURED: Every week, an article is selected from the Library and highlighted. This week's article, published in April 1976, looks at the relationship between science and religion, which are often perceived as being, to some degree, in opposition to each other. Here, William Hatcher considers the reasons for such a view; in particular, he probes how this view derives from particular conceptions of science and of religion. The scientific method, rightly viewed, he says, is universal in its scope, for it is essentially the systematic, organized, directed, and conscious application of our mental faculties.
