- W43558124 abstract "has long been assumed that religious beliefs have some peculiar power to blight scientific thought. This was held to be true long before the Scopes trial, even long before the appearance of Andrew White's volume on the warfare assumed always to be taking place between science and religion. Religious beliefs certainly impeded the progress of research in the Middle Ages. Yet careful students of that time, like Thorndike, assure us that, for instance, religious prejudice did not, as is commonly supposed, prevent the dissection of human bodies in the fifteenth century. On the contrary systematic dissections were held regularly during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and even high officials often consented to the autopsies of relatives by physicians. Thorndike goes on to say also that we are quite wrong in picking out a few great names in the so-called Dark Ages and in supposing that these men alone were active in science, for there were many quite as brilliant scientists and thinkers as they. Other students again have shown conclusively that the so-called antipathy between science and religion in the Middle Ages was in reality a warfare between Aristotelian philosophy and the newer mode, in process of development by physical scientists, of thinking about the how rather than the why of phenomena in nature. Aristotle had long been the supreme philosopher and the Church, like other institutions, including science, had made its peace with him. When the findings of men like Copernicus and Galileo began to menace the foundations of the philosophy of Aristotle the Church, which accepted this thinker as final, naturally fought back. The warfare was not between organized religion and scientific research but between a belief in scientific research and in the philosophy of Aristotle. The warfare is generally between belief and science. That belief may be of any kind nationalistic, patriotic, economic, or religious. Any belief at all, held with marked emotional intensity and including the too fervent beliefs of scientists themselves in the rectitude and verity of their own methods and findings," @default.
