Abstract
The relationship between science and religion and their connections, which are the real elements of human rational life and bring man to salvation through their coordination, are important issues in theology. In the present article, we use the views of John F. Haught in the book Science and Religion: From Conflict to Conversation and examine the views of Allamah Mohammad-Taqi Ja'fari on the relationship between science and religion. We also explore some aspects of the conflicts that have formed between science and religion over the centuries and comparatively examine the views of Allamah Ja'fari and John F. Haught on this issue through an analytical-descriptive method, and we will explore the commonalities and differences between them and explain the relationship between science and religion from their point of view. Allamah Ja'fari and John F. Haught agree with the confirmation approach and believe that science and religion are both affirmative and complementary. Although Haught travels between the approaches of intersection and confirmation and sometimes combines them, he insists that the findings of science can be used in theological research, and finally, according to the two philosophers, we will conclude that there is a coordination between science and religion.
