In psychology, there is a theory known as “intelligent design”. Some scholars in psychology believe that the wisdom and intellect of a person go through a process of transformation, and not just through natural selection.

In psychology, evolution is an area in science that is explored by people in the same way that adults reject some of the intuitive beliefs and common knowledge that is accepted by society. Many young people believe that what is dependable and trustworthy in this world is not substitute for science, but rather mankind can wholly depend on their own design to achieve wisdom and their natural existence.

Hence, in psychology, there are two types of belief: scientific belief and religious belief. The shared feature of these two types of belief is that they are an understanding of one's own overarching belief. When dealing with another belief with inadequate knowledge or without a way to resolve the disparity, people will usually believe in science and reject religion. On the other hand, many people who have religious faith reject science, which depends on radical theories, and choose to take a religious path. So, when a psychologist understands the differences in thinking among existing religions, they can eliminate the opposing views of religious and scientific beliefs and choose a belief system for themselves that is simple, dependable, and has a strong base. 

In truth, science advocates a development viewpoint while religious belief emphasises society and a global view. Science is about understanding the physical world, whereas religion is about understanding the principle of cause and effect and conditions in the inner world. So, when people from the two different belief systems respond automatically based upon their respective beliefs and theories to an event in society, they cannot communicate with each other. As a result, negative emotional reactions will emerge towards different circumstances.

The intuitive world is a basic concept for scientific belief, whereas religious belief allows us to understand the phenomena that occur according to the law of cause and effect alongside the modern meaning of some traditional materials. Scientific belief is about conducting research on what happened in the past and offering systematic summaries and explanations. Religious belief, in contrast, offers an alternative conceptual framework for existing phenomena.
