In Western society, science and religion is the relationship between the historical development with the constant adjustment, changes in a dialectical relationship between science and religion.

Generally speaking, the role of science and religion, often carried out unconsciously.Paper first introduced the definition of Christianity, history, and society in the Middle Ages in Europe the role of the Middle Ages in the entire history of Christianity is a very important period of Christianity and the future of the relationship between science and development. Christian forces in Europe makes the development of Christianity in Europe's political, economic, and cultural activities, mainly living in the status of the Church have a great deal of social resources. In order to maintain this status, the Christian monastery built in various parts of the school and other agencies, training for the church, but the move was for the birth of modern natural science has trained a large number of scientists.Secondly, the paper discusses the birth of Christianity in modern science preparation. The birth of modern science, marking the understanding of human nature into a new stage. Natural selection of the first people to study the nature of the categories will be divided into different natural areas, each of these areas has a specific form of expression and laws, thus forming the various categories of natural science. Renaissance is the first time thinking of the European liberation movements, which promote humanism, its core is in the affirmative, and pay attention to human nature, and requested that people from religious bondage human liberation, the liberation of people's thinking, the development of culture, science, history played a huge role. The rise of the Reformation in the 16th century social movements in Europe following the Renaissance and again after the Movement for the Liberation of thinking, promoting the emergence of modern science in Europe is undoubtedly of great significance.

Western culture in the development of the Middle Ages, the Church of Christ has played an important role, the Church of the inheritance of classical culture, dissemination and development of the later Renaissance and the emergence of modern science laid the cultural foundation. And the University as a socio-cultural and scientific research institutions,Their development and training for social change is bound to the pursuit of a large number of scholars of science and truth.At the same time, universities have in the Church under the jurisdiction of the university campus during the democratic and scientific spirit is no doubt the future of the European Renaissance and the rise of modern science have a tremendous role in promoting. The strength of Christian faith gave scientists endless power and become the spiritual pillar of the scientists, scientists who make contributions, which undoubtedly the emergence of modern science in the development process and an important role. Christian Scientists, which was a powerful spiritual motivation, there are no material gains and losses to consider, which is religious in order to give an active role in the scientific development of the underlying causes. Of course, the relationship between Christianity and science are not always harmonious,In modern science there has been major scientific discoveries that threaten the rule of Christianity, the conflict between the two inevitable.Finally, the paper also analyzes the modern Europe of the Christian faith of scientists in the history of the development of modern science, the majority of European scientists agree with Christianity or Christian, and scientists are religious and they were related to the social and cultural background, scientists can not be divorced from the religious context of traditional culture. Christian doctrine and spirit of the scientific research activities of scientists are playing an important influence. In addition, the religious beliefs of scientists are in support of scientific activities, one of the important spiritual impetus.Thesis based on the relationship between religious and scientific point of view of the complex, trying to come to Christianity and the relationship between modern science of non-general view is that only the two conflicting views, but in different periods of historical development, the relationship between the two are in conflict and harmony It is very complex and is also the mutual influence between the two, the relationship between the interaction. Science and scientists in modern times, the relationship between science and religion is complex and is close, the relationship of social progress in the continuous separation, in the 21st century, this process continues, we can not determine the future the world the relationship between science and religion will be totally cut off.But compared to Europe several hundred years ago, and now people can be more clear understanding of how religion is the impact on our lives.
