When science throws religion and philosophy through the window

Religion and physics two irreducible elements, which many times have been perceived as antagonistic. Religion, at least in the last few decades, has started to make the first steps towards science by accepting more and more of its theories. Science, on the other hand, is getting overtly against any form of religion.

Reputed scientists who believe in religion are quite rare, maybe they are afraid that they’ll be perceived as not serious enough for their domain. For scientists, religion and philosophy are frivolous, they are inexact and unmeasurable. If hundreds of years ago scientists were also philosophers or clergymen, nowadays science has advanced so much and at such a high and sophisticated pace that it has made it impossible for the philosophy to keep the rhythm. There is a huge gap between science and philosophy, science doesn’t seem to want to look back to its common roots and philosophy is almost being thrown through the window by many scientists.

Potentially, there is one linking elements between science and philosophy, ethics. Science from its cold and sovereign place aims to be ethical. Scientists push the boundaries of science as much as they can, but when it comes to ethics, this is something quite sacred, it’s a place where they step with cautiousness. It almost looks like ethics is the only constraint that science has and will always have. This is because it impacts people, as long as the human element is involved science will never cross the boundaries of ethics. This is one beautiful philosophical certainty that we’ll always have.
