Mathematics is like theology; it starts with axioms (self-evident truths) and uses
logical derivation to justify consecutive claims. Science is different; here claims are
justified by reproducible experimental observations, not by pure logic. This does not
interfere with peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between mathematicians and
scientists. The situation can be contrasted with relations between some selfappointed
theologians and self-appointed scientists. No one benefits from the
endless �we know better� conflicts. Is it possible to avoid such conflicts? The topic
was discussed over the Internet, as illustrated in this article.
