A fundamental principle of the Bahá’í Faith is the harmony of religion and science. The Bahá’í Faith teaches that properly appreciated, science and religion will never conflict, as each are complementary ways of explaining truth, which on any issue must necessarily be singular. The teachings state that whenever conflict arises between religion and science it is due to human error; either through misinterpretation of religious scriptures or the lack of a more complete understanding of science. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá explained that religious teachings which are at variance with science should not be accepted; he explained that religion has to be reasonable since God endowed humankind with reason so that they can discover truth.

Leroy Ioas
Leroy Ioas (1896 - 1965) was a Hand of the Cause of God of the Bahá’í Faith. In 1952 he was appointed to the International Bahá’í Council, precursor to the Universal House of Justice where he served until 1961 as Secretary General. Leroy's service to the Faith was outstanding and inspiring to his communities. In 1912 he led his parents to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in a crowded hotel lobby by the radiance which enveloped Him. Although only sixteen, he took the Master for his guide, and was aware of His guidance at several critical periods of his life. He was present when ‘Abdu’l-Bahá laid the cornerstone of the Temple in Wilmette - his father had helped to draft the petition to the Master for permission to build it - and as a young man he taught classes on its grounds.

Up from thy prison ascend unto the glorious meads above, and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight unto the paradise of the Placeless. -Bahá’u’lláh, Hidden Words
