Theologians call religion and science "two wings that carry the human spirit into the vastness of space". Scientists call them two maps of reality, each of which is part of a larger unified picture of the material and spiritual world. However, these are only ideal images. In reality, conflicts arise between science and religion from time to time. The authors set out to highlight the underlying causes of these tensions, which they see as the extraneous influence of socio-political, ideological, cultural, and business factors. In support of this thesis, the book examines a wide range of specific high-profile "cases" - from the Inquisition against Galileo in the seventeenth century and Protestant opposition to Darwin's theory of evolution in the nineteenth century - to protests over the construction of a thirty-metre telescope in Hawaii and opposition to COVID-19 vaccination in the early twenty-first century.
