ABSTRACT

The relationship between religious beliefs and scientific knowledge is complex. In contemporary culture, conflicts between the two are inevitable. This study analyzed the strategies employed by three newspapers, ABC, El Mundo, and El País, in treating these conflicts. A content analysis was performed to determine whether these newspapers employed a confrontation or conciliation strategy. Our results show how the newspapers held various editorial orientations regarding science and religion. In conclusion, their general strategy was to avoid explicit confrontation by steering the discussion on conflicting views between science and religion toward academic fields, such as historiography, and debates about their sociopolitical and cultural effects.

摘要

宗教信仰与科学知识之间的关系是复杂的。在当代文化中，两者之间的冲突是不可避免的。本研究分析了 ABC、El Mundo 和 El País 这三家报纸在处理这些冲突时所采用的策略。进行内容分析以确定这些报纸是否采用对抗或和解策略。我们的研究结果显示了报纸如何对科学和宗教进行各种编辑定位。总之，他们的总体策略是通过将关于科学和宗教之间冲突观点的讨论转向学术领域（例如史学）以及关于其社会政治和文化影响的辩论来避免明确的对抗。
