Non-overlapping magisteria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Non-overlapping magisteria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA) is the view advocated by Stephen Jay Gould that 'science and religion do not glower at each other...[but] interdigitate in patterns of complex fingering, and at every fractal scale of self-similarity.'[1] He suggests, with examples, that 'NOMA enjoys strong and fully explicit support, even from the primary cultural stereotypes of hard-line traditionalism' and that it is 'a sound position of general consensus, established by long struggle among people of goodwill in both magisteria.'[1]"
