[Regnum] Science and religion should not be pitted against each other; the acuteness of the problem in the form of teaching Darwin's theory in schools is artificially created, said Vladimir Legoida, Chairman of the Synodal Department for Church-Society and Media Relations,on September 29.
"The question is: why should we pit science and religion against each other, why should we mix them? The idea of an inevitable conflict between science and religion is false; many scientific approaches can be combined with religious beliefs. The question should not be about banning the teaching of certain theories and concepts, but about the idea of the diversity of both the scientific world and the ways of knowing that are not limited to the scientific. Therefore, I regret some of the statements that were made by Orthodox people," Legoida said.
Former Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic and former Mayor of Grozny Muslim Khuchiev previously proposed to the Minister of Education of Russia Sergei Kravtsov to exclude Darwin's theory from school textbooks. According to Khuchiev, this theory is erroneous and also runs counter to religion.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 11, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia stated that humanity needs to be religious in order to remain happy and survive against the backdrop of rapid technological development. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church noted that the introduction of AI could lead to a colossal technological breakthrough and the creation of machines and mechanisms that cannot be imagined today. However, they can both serve for the benefit of man and pose a colossal threat to him like an atomic bomb.
