Authors

Abstract

The Conflict between "Science" and "religion" had been, from the past up to now, one of the basic challenges among religious scholars. They have always sought to find a consistent explanation for these two concepts. Among them, Ghaz?l?, made many efforts and has taken advantage of “hermeneutic” to remove this Conflict. In the present article at first, major solutions to the issue have been pointed out, and then Ghaz?l?’s viewpoint towards this case is explained. At the end, Ghaz?l?’s new opinion is mentioned. In this new point of view, he regards the solution of this conflict in correcting our views towards scientific and religious proposition.
According to this theory, the scientific statements are hypothetical propositions, rather than certain ones. so resultant knowledge from religious statements are mostly hypothetical knowledge. Therefore, there is no reason to prefer one of these statements to other, and we should leave the conflict as it is, and thereby, the religion doesn’t confront any challenges; because our understanding from religious proposition is a hypothetical understanding, and ascribing this conception to the divine legislator is a presumptive attribution. So the scientific statements, even if they are certain, cannot manage to disprove and falsify the religious propositions
