If Gould is right, then it is a mistake to think of science and religion as even in the market for conflict.

A third position, the potential conflict model, maintains that religion and science can potentially conflict, e.g., as in the case where a religion advances verifiable empirical claims (e.g., the age of the earth). In response to potential conflicts, however, some thinkers, including the Italian polymath Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), have suggested that religion and science are at least potentially revisable with reference to the other (as opposed to mutually exclusive in light of any potential incompatibilities observed). (For related discussion, see the chapter ‘Faith and Reason’, this volume).
