The conflict or reconciliation between science and religion is an old phenomenon.
Ibn Rushd was one of those who were concerned with the reconciliation process after they struggled in Islamic civilization. ′′ Science ′′ was primarily Greek philosophy and its mathematics, medicine and mathematics.
Ibn Rushd said that the goal of religion and the goal of philosophy is one but their ways are different.
The jurisprudence reaches truth through controversy and speech, and philosophers reach truth through proof and logic. What religion brings is a right and what philosophy brings is a right and the truth does not oppose the truth, but it approves and witnesses it.
But this is not the most important idea in Ibn Rushd's thought.. He acknowledged that the conflict between science and religion is an undeniable fact regarding some scientific (mental) outcomes that conflict with what religion says.
When Ibn Rushd discusses what to do when there is a conflict between mind and transfer (between science and religion according to today's language), he was explicit in the weight of the mind's reference because the conflict, from his point of view, results from the difference between the ′′ truth of science ′′ And ′′ the text appears ".
If a disagreement happens, the solution is to re-interpret the religious text proportionate to the truths of the mind, because the doctrinal measurement is certain, and the last reference of the mind, not the text.
Ibn Rushd was straightforward in saying that the results of philosophers are more certain than the results of jurists, even if they are based on the text. Whatever the divine text is, it needs interpretation and interpretation, but the results of the mind (science) are certain.
But one of the long-term results of his philosophy is that we can reach right and virtue even if there is no religious text (what we call in today's language secularism and sensibility of knowledge)…
So it was not strange that the idea of the ′′ double truth ′′ of Ben Rushd was the forefront of which the secular idea was vigilant and the separation of science and religion when his ideas moved to Europe. But strangely, we haven't settled the battle of science and religion until today, although Alan Rushd it 8 centuries ago!
