The conflict thesis is a historiographical approach in the history of science that originated in the 19th century which maintains that there is an intrinsic intellectual conflict between religion and science and that it inevitably leads to hostility. Most examples and interpretations of events in support of the thesis have been drawn from Western history. Historians of science have long ago rejected the thesis and have instead widely accepted a complexity thesis.

The scientist John William Draper and the writer Andrew Dickson White were the most influential exponents of the Conflict Thesis between religion and science. In the early 1870s, Draper was invited to write a History of the Conflict between Religion and Science (1874), a book replying to contemporary issues in Roman Catholicism, such as the doctrine of papal infallibility, and mostly criticising what he claimed to be in the Catholic tradition, yet assessing that Islam and Protestantism had little conflict with science. carousel previous carousel next.

The antagonism we thus witness between Religion and Science is the continuation of a struggle that commenced when Christianity began to attain political power.

A great book in terms of the science, but Draper was a man of his time and was heavily influenced by a strong aversion to Catholicism, characteristic of 19th century anti-clericalism. His assertion that Catholics worship Mary is as wrong as to assert that Muslims worship Muhammad - neither believe they are gods and reserve that act of faith for God alone. Christianity quickly destroyed the remainder of the library of Alexandria and forbade the teaching of philosophy, effectively causing the Dark Ages and freezing all thought in Europe for a thousand years.
