This book concerned with the natural sciences as well as Hinduism and Islam as two samples of biggest religions among the world. Religion and science are two major sources that have guided mankind in historical times. Both of them have greatly influenced all aspects of human life. In certain cases both religion and science have looked into those problems and clashes that needed urgent attention. There is a popular belief that religion and science are two basically opposite poles. There are several definitions of religion, which imply a relationship not merely between men and men, but also between man and some moral power that attempts to find out the ways to reach man's perfection and happiness.

Man's completeness is certainly dependant on many human sources; mostly scientists or scholars of religion. But whereas Science and Religion are specifically supposed as the main sources of such purpose, there is a question on their efficient collaboration. They both insist on their point of views while today many natural mysteries are already discovered or getting soon found. When the religion is defined as a way of life and man's purification, we cannot believe or imagine the science, the rationality in opposite to the religion. In the age of constant clash between the faith and rationality, it seems there is a serious doubt on the fulfilment of their ideological integrity. It is possible that religion and science converge in the future world and their convergence would bring lasting peace and happiness to humanity.

This book attempts to invite all theologians, scientists and scholars have a helpful dialogue to reach an effective convergence on these both main sources of human studies.
