Article Abstract:

Inter-disciplinary disagreements often undermine the influence of science in all the streams as the proponents of different views fight for their conclusions to be accepted cancelling out each other's influence. However, a reconciliation can be achieved since the disciplines are mostly complementary and the domains on which their conclusions are based are inter-related. People are depending more on science, and disciplinary conflicts will confuse the masses about its status.
