Religion uses prayer, sacraments, worship and spiritual disciplines. Religion is defined by doctrines. Science assumes understanding by rational means. Such comparison may help, but it leaves open the question of whether the relationship between these two is as clear as we might like it to be. To clarify their authority to make claims about truth, Christians appeal to scripture, revelation and church traditions, while science appeals to experience, reason and scientific traditions.
Science is ambivalent about the place of humans.
We are unique in having a symbolic language, and are developed in consciousness and in our abilities to plan and change our environment. But we share basic psychological and biochemistry features with other animals. And we're learning more about interdependence with the rest of nature. The movement from religion to ethics seems legitimate. Nevertheless, our understanding of science should inform our daily living, just as our knowledge of coal-combustion should make us work harder to reduce greenhouse gases.
