Sciences are related to each other and whichever raises will help others and enhances them. For example, if physic has improved considerably it was because math had improved and reached inaccessible reaches. Sciences don’t keep anything for themselves and don’t hide anything from others and even if the scientists be stingy for reasons and hide things, the sciences themselves will reveal it.

Sciences have tit for tat with each other and borrow little and bog loans from each other. Medicine borrows from chemistry and physics and chemistry and physics borrow from math and math from philosophy and so on. Humanities shouldn’t be separated from empirical sciences here and we shouldn’t think that they don’t follow the rules of communicating vessels and are independent. No. No science is independent. As philosophy affects scientific perceptions and beliefs, the scientific perceptions and beliefs affect philosophy as well. I mean that sciences progress together and their senility and lethargy are together, too. Meanwhile, if a science doesn’t manage to catch other sciences it will be left behind and will lose its efficiency gradually and will be forgotten. But there are some sciences that are not in a same level with other sciences.

We shouldn’t analogize sciences to employees of an office in our mind which have boss and deputy and subordinates and servitors and follow a complex and severs hierarchy. If we are talking about level and rank, we shouldn’t divert our mind mistakenly to devious ways and think for example that biology and geology are subordinates of another science. Being subordinate superior are not defined here and we should use other terms: “The top-notch science”. It means that fundamental questions of a science are not answered in that science. We can’t ask a biologist to explain us what biology is. We also can’t ask a poet to tell us what poem is. “What is physics” is a question that the top-notch science of physics has to answer it. Metaphysics is the top-notch science of physics in which the nature of things is discussed precisely. Because of this we say that philosophy is aware of other sciences and is considered as their top-notch science. But does need other sciences.

A scientific discovery can sometimes change the position of the top-notch science and deepens responding to whats. For instance, astronomy’s achievements have influenced philosophy completely and have even redefined its position and rank. The distinction between the Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomy or Euclidean and Lobachevskian geometry is not merely a scientific difference but it is a philosophical difference and redefines the relation of human and the world. I have said these to say that the religion science that is the top-notch of sciences has no choice but to answer the modern mankind’s questions appropriate to modern perceptions and understandings. New perceptions cause new questions and new questions require new answers. Surely, the 21^st –Century-human has questions that would have never crossed the mind of the one-thousand-year-ago-human or even the one-hundred-year-ago human. One reason that religious scientists in old times equipped themselves with other sciences is that they knew that they wouldn’t have been able to answer the questions if they had ignored the math and logic and philosophy and medicine and astronomy and nature and so on.

Now that questions have got more complex, scientists have to be more equipped and dominant. This dominance and equipping is not just related to science of discourse and hierology. It means that not only the scientists of discourse and hierology have to use modern sciences but also scientist of law and jurisprudence need to not only know but also dominant of what has made the modern world. For example today monetary and financial dealings have no relation with the dealings of previous centuries. Current economy is based on dealings and bases that no one can understand except an economy and modern trade scientist. New and convergent technologies require new needs. Such metamorphoses have happened in business of current mankind, however, the concept of business has changed and formed a complex shape.

Since sciences are related to each other we can say that all things have changed not only in application but also in concept. For example, chemistry is not alchemy anymore and there is no alchemist who wants to turn copper to gold although the value added of scientific production is not less than goldsmith. These changes are wide and comprehensive and cover all sciences include humanities, empirical and technical sciences. Psychology is not the ex self science today. The regenerative medicine is although like medicine, it is something else and physicians seek things beyond curing ills and treating sickness. Because of this, religious and canonical and juridical question have been changed and new things have entered them by scientific amazing progress.

If we want to make examples I should write a lot which is out of the scope of this text. But for making it more familiar I should say that asking about permission or prohibition of habitation is a brand new question or asking about copy right is something that wasn’t existed centuries ago. Especially in entrepreneurship and new jobs we face new issues that traditional answers can’t handle them.

This term should be used with precaution and its aspects should be considered: We need new business to answer modern questions and open new ways. There are some uncertainty in the field of start-ups, knowledge-based economy, stem cells, cognitive sciences and so on that referring to our traditional resources can’t answer them. Not only doubts can’t be eliminated by referring to traditional resources but hot to refer to them must be reconsidered. For example this very computer that has changed the possibility of searching qualitatively and quantitatively will for sure influence the research method and the research results will change if the research method changes.

What we need today in economy and science and scientific progress is that religious scientists and seminaries enter the new issues with wonderful knowledge and solve our problems and smooth the way for progress and development and being religious. The new generation needs spiritual assistance so that they can pass the curvy roads safely while saving succulence and mirth.
