In recent decades, some thinkers have spoken of religious science and although they agreed on its possibility, they did not have a single theory on its meaning, application and how to distinguish it from secular science. Everyone agreed that science was influenced by presuppositions, but there was serious disagreement about how and to what extent they affected them. This statement was discussed more in natural science than in humanities. Because if natural science discovers the laws of nature, how do presuppositions influence the discovery of laws? If the function of religion is not the interpretation of nature, how can it intervene in the knowledge and interpretation of nature and make science a religion? The present article tries to express the meaning of religious natural science and prove its realization by descriptive-analytical method. According to this article, one of the most important features of religion is the teleology of nature, and this feature, makes natural science dependent on religion.
