Religion and Science: A Complementary Relationship
Religion played a crucial role in the development of science, with many of the men involved in the scientific revolution being people of faith. Among the prominent figures of the era, the majority were religious, with some clergy members and others deeply devoted to their faith.

This contrasts with the notion in other cultures that the universe cannot be comprehended as it does not follow rational rules.
