111 Comprehension:
Science and religion - the two terms have come to signify a mutual antagonism. The two, it is commonly
declared, are poles apart; their spheres of activity and their methods differ widely, so much so that they
are considered to be irreconcilable.
On the face of it, science and religion appear to be the two opposite poles of man's consciousness. Science
is basically concerned with the material world; its efforts are directed towards unraveling the "how" of
reality while religion is concerned with the "why" of reality. Science deals with analyzing tangible entities
into its minutest parts, and then arrives at conclusions about the way in which tangible realities are
organized. While science is analytical, religion takes the ultimate reality for granted. Religion follows the
metaphysical path; the concept of God is ultimately a matter of faith and it is this faith which is the basis
of the religious man's attribution of a design or meaning for the reality.
The modes of action are different in science and religion. Science relies on experiment, whereas religion
is based on experience. Any religious experience, whether it is Christ's or Ramakrishna's, is personal and
subjective. Science, on the other hand, is marked by objectivity. Theory has to be corroborated by
tangible proof. Science benefits mankind by provjding material comforts. The frontiers of science do not
end in knowledge but are extended to the formation of appliances for actual use. Science, it has been
somewhat unfairly charged, cultivates the materialistic thinking. However, it has to be admitted that the
mental attitude promoted by religion is entirely different, while the basis of scientific progress is
unbridled curiosity and courageous endeavour, the truly religious spirit cavils at such presumption that
man's mind can penetrate the mysteries of the universe. Science promotes fearless inquiry while an
essential ingredient of religion is the humility born of fear of God. Science incorporates a love of
experimental knowledge, while religion does not believe in the rational approach.
Which of the following statements according to the passage is correct:
 (a) The religious spirit assumes that human mind can penetrate the mysteries of the universe.
(b) Science follows the metaphysical path.
(c) Science believes in the humility born of fear of God.
(d) Religion believes in ultimate reality
