It is commonly argued by a school of thought that there is no relationship between
religion and science. This extreme position has led to a lasting conflict, which has pitched religion
against science and science against religion. The attempt in this paper is to articulate the fact that there
can be an enduring consonance between religion and science. No doubt, the conflict and debate on the
subject of religion and science has taken the front burner in both religious and philosophical discusses.
Some scholars have argued that science has no role in religious or theological domain, while others
contest that all religious concerns and considerations must be exposed to empirical investigations, and,
proven by the dynamics of our intellect or reason. This paper, therefore, attempts to examine how
religion and science complement each other. The author applied philosophical, sociological and
historical methodology in his research. It is recommended that there is the need for dialogue between
religion and science.
