What does Science, Religion and Ethics mean?

Science and religion represent two of the strongest forces in society today. While some entities view them as being conflicting and at odds with one another, other perspectives see them as simply complimentary components of a much greater whole. Issues such as stem cell research and evolution highlight the complex relationship between these two topics. Other issues such as abortion, euthanasia and war would fall into this theme. Ethics, which is the branch of philosophy that deals with values relating to human conduct, plays an important role in how this relationship between science and religion is debated and applied. This theme can contribute to greater understanding for those studying areas such as Anthropology, Biology, Business, Communication Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Education, Environmental Studies, Forestry, Geography, Health and Human Performance, History, Interdisciplinary Geosciences, Journalism, Native American Studies, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Religious Studies, Resource Conservation, Social Work, and Sociology.
