Project Gutenberg 1998-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 1247 Draper, John William 1811 1882 Draper, J. W. (John William) History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science Produced by Charles Keller, and David Widger "History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science" by John William Draper is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the ongoing struggle between religious beliefs and scientific thought throughout history, tracing the roots of this conflict back to ancient civilizations and the rise of modern science. Draper argues that the battle between these two spheres is a significant and pressing issue that impacts societal norms, governance, and the pursuit of knowledge. The opening of this text sets the stage for Draper’s analysis by discussing the mental state of the educated classes in Europe and America, who are increasingly moving away from traditional religious beliefs. He emphasizes the historical tension and antagonism between religious dogma, particularly as represented by the Catholic Church, and the advancements of science, which often challenge these beliefs. Draper presents the conflict as not only historical but also a present-day issue, suggesting that the role of religion in society needs to be examined in light of scientific progress. By laying this groundwork, Draper prepares readers for a detailed examination of pivotal moments in history where science and religion clashed, and he hints at the profound implications this conflict has for humanity’s understanding of truth and existence.
