Archbishop of Canterbury: We must stop clash of civilizations

"At a seminar titled "Building Bridges," jointly organized by the archbishop of Canterbury and Bahçeşehir University, held at the university's Beşiktaş campus on Tuesday, Christian and Muslim scholars discussed the connection between creation and science from the perspectives of both religions.Speaking at the seminar, Bahçeşehir University Rector Deniz Ülke Arıboğan noted that their university attaches great importance to freedom of thought and tries to promote free thinking(lol) by hosting forums such as the Alliance of Civilizations.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said the purpose of the seminar was to conduct a debate over sacred sources of both religions, adding, "We try to reinforce mutual trust and fraternity at the end of discussions."

Following the opening speeches, a session titled "Doctrine of Creation and Scientific Reason" was held, chaired by Professor Alparslan Açıkgenç of Fatih University. Associate Professor Ebrahim Moosa of Duke University asserted that there are differences concerning creation between Islam and Christianity. "In the Quran, you can find a comprehensive definition of universe and you can hear the sound of the Quran in cosmology. God continues to create at all times," he said.
