Abstract
Before the emergence of modern science ,Philosophy was dominant over all sciences, including the empirical ones. But with the advent of
positivistic school of philosophy during the first half of the nineteenth century  and its dominance until 1960’s, both religion and philosophy were put aside  formally , and scientists sought the answer to all human questions from empirical science.But, during the second half of the twentieth century ,it be came clear that science per se Cannot account for moral values and cannot answer humanity’s ultimate questions and is full of metaphysical assumptions. Therefore ,philosophy (especially  metaphysics ) has been revived by some eminent scientists, and they  are looking for a comprehensive worldview which can take care of scientists’ questions, and some of them have proposed a religious worldview for this purpose.
