Do scinentist believe in religion like a layman? There is a stark contrast between public discussions of the relations between science and religion in the West and in the Arab-Muslim world. In the West, a conflict narrative prevails: science is rational, open-minded, and progressive; religion is "magical thinking", rigid and backward. In the Arab-Muslim culture, science is almost an integral part of religion, for it is supposed to lead to God or at least reaffirm the obvious existence and power of God. Scholars and highly educated people have always held complex and subtle views on religion, often holding beliefs that traditionally minded people regard as beyond the norms of religious dogmas.The studies also show that the conflict narrative between science and religion that the western popular culture has been deluged with is not dominant on the ground; indeed, only 38 per cent of UK scientists describe religion as being in conflict with science. In fact, many scientists openly hail the positive influence that religion often has on the practice of science, particularly in terms of ethics; few see religion as "interfering". And indeed, there are several areas where the two can cooperate; environmental issues and the fight to eradicate poverty, to name just two. But for such cooperation to take place, everyone must adopt an attitude of humility. As the Quran reminds us, "you have been given but little of knowledge...".
