Abstract
The divorce of science and religion in recent decades has reached the stage of a ‘treaty’ based on the peculiarity of the empirical method as compared with other methods of acquiring knowledge. It manifests itself in the form of mutual non-intervention. In my opinion this duality is unavoidable, at least at present, and it reflects the inadequacy of the cognitive tools we possess. But a believer-scientist (provided he acknowledges the existence of one Reality) may feel uneasy about this state of affairs. For, if there is no ontological duality, there should be no duality on epistemological grounds either.
