| Dr Kalam, a great scientist, believed science and faith must coexist for human good. | Science depends on proof and experiment; spirituality depends on belief. |
| Science provides focus; faith provides perspective and keeps progress within limits. | Blind faith and superstition can oppose scientific thinking. |
| Father Pereira said he and Dr Sarabhai were doing the same job – working for the prosperity of mind and body. | Religious conflicts have sometimes hindered scientific progress. |
| Spirituality gives values like honesty and selflessness that guide the use of science. | Science can progress without spiritual beliefs. |
| Both aim at the welfare of humanity. | Mixing the two may confuse facts with beliefs. |
Conclusion: Science without values can be dangerous, and faith without reason can be blind. When each plays its true role, as Dr Kalam said, they work together for the betterment of humanity.
