Both science and religion have propositions about the nature. The discovery and cognition of the laws of the nature, scientists of natural sciences claim, is a function of science, while the religious knowers defend the uncontested truth of the religious propositions about the nature. This initiated the conflict between science and religion by which some of the scientists and religious knowers were influenced and whoever was concerned with this problem tried to provide an answer to it. By presenting an interpretation of Islam harmonious with human developments, Motahhari as a Moslem intellectual made an effort to show the compatibility between science and religion. Sometimes, he spoke of human’s need for both of them and the compatibility between them in this regard, and sometimes, he tried to show in detail that there is no conflict between science and religion, as he did about the theory of evolution. Relying on the relativity of scientific laws and eternity of religious doctrines, he sometimes defended the religion and interpretability of science. In this paper, the origin of the problem is discussed and the viewpoint of Motahhari regarding this problem is analyzed.
