Sažetak
Sociologists of the 19th and the 20th centuries were tackling the relation between science and religion. A few models of these
relations were offered, by which the monopoly over the truth by any one of those is crashed. Therefore, there are a few models but each is with lots of limitations. None is sufficient to explain the relation between the science and religion, but each contributes to certain extent to better understanding of those relations. Almost every one of the interpretations was under the influence of the social (particularly ideological and political) conditions in which they were emerging.
One of those could be named as „Riding on an old horse: there is no reconciliation between faith and reason“. Is the
enlightenment theory the source of a conflict between “faith” and “reason”? What is it that leads to the conflict of the science and religion? From rejection to acceptance – a view on Darwin’s theory then and now. do creationist theories lead to exacerbation of relations between the science and religion? Postmodernism on the relation of science and religion.
Stand views of religious communities – science and religion are not in conflict. Examples that confirm such opinion. Many
priests and Islamic teachers have given their contributions to the development of science (technology, medicine, geography,
architecture, urbanism, music etc.). Isn’t it that the calendars, past (Egyptian, Chinese, Aztec etc.) and present (Hindu, Jewish,
Islamic, Gregorian etc.) have come from the umbrella of religions.
Are conflicts between science and religion the matter of the past? Disputes over use of drugs in rituals exist even today. Religion
and science are autonomous fields – but where is the border between them?
Technology and religions. How religions refer to technology. Examples of applications of technical achievements in religious
activities. An ecological theory that is being developed within sociology of religion focuses on the relation of religions and religious communities toward nature.
Contemporary dilemmas (ethic discussions within the field of biomedicine– euthanasia, abortion, organ donation, aesthetic
surgery etc.).
