Quote by Albert Einstein
It is this mythical, or rather symbolic, content of the religious traditions which is likely to come into conflict with science. This occurs whenever this religious stock of ideas contains dogmatically fixed statements on subjects which belong in the domain of science.
Summary
This quote suggests that conflicts between religion and science often arise when religious traditions make absolute, fixed statements about subjects that fall within the realm of science. The mythical or symbolic aspects of these traditions can clash with scientific knowledge when religious ideas are presented as dogmatic truths. In such cases, conflicts between religion and science are likely to arise due to a contradiction between the religious tradition's symbolic interpretation and the empirical, evidence-based approach of science.
