Answer:
The compare-and-contrast structure shows science
and religion have similar goals, even if they have
different beliefs.
Explanation:
The excerpt is essentially explaining how both science and religion are impacting our lives significantly. "With the ever-growing impact of science on our lives, religion and spirituality have a greater role to play by reminding us of our humanity." It then goes on to say that there is no contradiction between the two, implying that many think that one cannot be said/done/acted upon with the other. "Each gives us valuable insights into the other."
The statement is comparing the two in order to show that they can both be acted upon and have similar goals.
