1. Read the passage given below.
Many people believe that Science and religion are contrary to each other. But this
notion is wrong. As a matter of fact, both are complementary to each other. The aim
of both these institutions is to explain different aspects of life, universe and human
existence. There is no doubt that the methods of Science and religion are different.
The method of Science is observation, experimentation and experience. Science
takes its recourse to progressive march towards perfection, the rules of religion are
faith, intuition and spoken word of the enlightened, in general, while Science is
inclined towards reason and rationality, spiritualism is the essence of religion.
In earlier times when man appeared on Earth, he was over-awed at the sight of
violent and powerful aspects of nature. In certain cases, the usefulness of different
natural objects of nature overwhelmed man. Thus began the worship of forces of
nature-fire, the sun, the rivers, the rocks, the trees, the snakes, etc. The holy
scriptures were written by those who had developed harmony between external
nature and their inner self.
Their object was to ennoble, elevate and liberate the human spirit and mind. But
the priestly class took upon itself the monopoly of scriptural knowledge and
interpretation to its own advantage. Thus, the entire human race was in chains.
Truth was flouted and progressive, liberal and truthful ideas or ideas expressing
doubt and skepticism were suppressed and their holders punished.
It was in these trying circumstances the Science emerged as a saviour of
mankind. But its path was not smooth and safe. The scientists and free thinkers
were tortured. This was the fate of Copernicus, Galileo, Bruno and others. But, by
and by Science gained ground.
