<br> | |||
In the West and the part of the planet dominated by it and the Abrahamic traditions (which includes the Islamic states) a conflict exists between a founding of the public weal on religion (the accepted tradition) versus reason (i.e. science since Galileo), which I term the conflict between made up and found out belief. I am ignoring the Dharmic tradition, a similar if less pointed, less pervasive situation exists there and is covered by the wide, natural sense of this topic. Narrowly, the "'''conflict thesis'''" is a [[historiography|historiographical]] approach in the [[history of science]] which maintains that there is an intrinsic intellectual conflict between [[religion]] and [[science]] and that the [[relationship between religion and science]] inevitably leads to hostility; examples to support this thesis have commonly been drawn from the relations between science and religion in Western Europe. The thesis retains support among some scientists and in the public,<ref>{{cite book | |||
