There are few subjects so intriguing and misleading as the relation of science and religion. About the importance of science little needs to be said. As to religion, it keeps maintaining itself, although many have expected that as information about science grows so would diminish interest in religion. But what is the true relation of two fields that singly and together command more attention than anything else? Some basics about that relation are presented in this booklet, which wants to be a primer on the subject. It therefore has to stress the elementary, or rather really fundamental considerations about both science and religion. Since religion and science are equally vast subjects, clarifications about both are indispensable, in order to clear the air. These clarifications are given without mincing words, lest the reader may too easily read his own thoughts into what he reads in this booklet. About religion, it has become a fad to think that all are born experts in it even without a grasp of the basics. As to science, one can become a safe judge on much of what is presented in the media about it, by keeping in mind some fundamentals.
