The History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science is a book written by John William Draper that explores the relationship between religion and science throughout history. Draper argues that there has been a long-standing conflict between the two, dating back to the ancient Greeks and continuing through the Middle Ages and into modern times. He examines the various debates and controversies that have arisen between religious and scientific communities, including the Galileo affair, the Darwinian revolution, and the rise of modern physics. Draper also explores the ways in which religion and science have influenced each other over time, and how they continue to shape our understanding of the world today. The book is considered a classic work in the history of science, and has been influential in shaping the ongoing debate over the relationship between religion and science.On the basis of this view of the structure of the world great religious systems have been founded, and hence powerful material interests have been engaged in its support. These have resisted, sometimes by resorting to bloodshed, attempts that have been made to correct its incontestable errors--a resistance grounded on the suspicion that the localization of heaven and hell and the supreme value of man in the universe might be affected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
