در اين مقاله تلاش مي­ شود رابطۀ علم و دين از منظر انديشۀ پويشي وايتهد بررسي و تحليل شود. براي اين امر ابتدا الگوهاي چهارگانۀ رابطه علم و دين (تضاد، تمايز، گفت‌وگو و تلفيق) توضيح داده مي‌شود. سپس، دربارۀ نظام مابعدالطبيعي پويشي بحث مي‌شود تا نشان داده شود كه علم و دين چگونه در چهارچوب اين نظام فراگير هماهنگي يا تلفيق پيدا مي‌كنند. و در آخر، اصول حاكم بر رابطۀ اين دو قلمرو استخراج مي‌شود كه تحليل آن‌ها از پويايي و تحول علم و دين، ناظربودن هر دو بر واقعيتي واحد و سروكار داشتن با وجوهي از واقعيت، طبيعي­ بودن تضاد بين اين دو، به­رغم اغراق در آن، و تحول معرفت ديني در پرتو معرفت علمي حكايت مي­ كند.

Present paper is an attempt towards an Analysis and Study of relation between religion and science from whitehead's process thought viewpoint. To illuminate this exposition, first, it is briefly proposed four models of relation between religion and science: conflict, independence, dialogue and integration. Second, process metaphysical system is discussed to show that how religion and science harmonize or synthesize in such comprehensive system. Third, it is referred to whitehead's view on religion and obstacles of reconciling religion and science. Last, by relying on twelfth chapter of science and the modern world under title "religion and science", certain rules governing religion and science be extracted and analyzed that indicating development and dynamic of these two realms, concerning same reality and explaining some levels the reality, conflict between them is natural, although was exaggerated, and evolution of religious knowledge in the light of development of science.
