We believe that both religion and science are essential needs of man --- one spiritual, the other material--- and both instead of contradicting , complement each other. We share age-old and common dream of the humanity—to seek the truth, divulge the secret and find meaning in the existence. We are all determined to make, what humble contribution we can, to bridge the gulf between religion and science and make this world a better place as A. N. Whitehead said: “When we consider what religion is for (humanity) and what science is, it is no exaggeration to say that the future course of the history depends upon the decision of this generation as to the relations between them”. | |
