人類文明在當代進入一個廣泛對話時代。中西方對話、科學與宗教對話等已成重要議題。而從中國古代的陰陽思維看西方科學與宗教的關係，會發現二者的聯繫非常符合《老子》和《易傳》所描述的宇宙創生的陰陽模式。其中，古代科學與宗教的關係是混而未分的「一」，近代是分化對立的「二」，現代則是彼此互動的「三」，而現代人類多彩的精神文化現象就是圍繞二者的關係展開的。因此，科學與宗教不僅將長期共處，而且新的關係模式突出了對立面的相互滲透以及過程與和諧的重要性，主張在文化多元時代宗教與科學仍有多方面互補的意義，雙方可以形成新的對話格局，彼此相互增進。在此，立足中國傳統將有能力解決西方令人困惑的二元論思維中科學和宗教的關係問題。因此，把握中國思維的特點對於促進當代科學和宗教之間的對話是極為必要的。

Human civilization is entering a time of broad dialogue. The dialogues between China and the West and between science and religion are becoming an important project. Seeing the relationship between science and religion in the West from the viewpoint of Chinese ancient thinking of Yin and Yang, we can find that the connection of science and religion is in accord with the description of the Yin-Yang style in the creation-becoming of the universe (that is creation out of nothing) from Lao Zi and Yi Zhuan. The ancient relationship between science and religion is ”One” of non-polarized chaos, which in the modern era has become a polarized and divided ”Two” and which in the contemporary era has become ”Three” of interaction. Today, human, colorful, spiritual phenomena surround the relationship between science and religion. Therefore, science and religion not only shall co-exist for a long time, but also their new model of relationship leads to a mutual permeation of the opposite as well as stressing the importance of process and harmony. In a multiplex cultural era, we claim that science and religion still have mutual complementary meaning, and they can form new situation of dialogue in order to boost each other. We argue that focusing on Chinese tradition will help to resolve the puzzling problems regarding the relationship between science and religion under the Western thinking of dualism. It is necessary to hold to the characteristics of Chinese thinking in order to promote the contemporary dialogue between science and religion.
