The methods used include discussion, reflection, and providing real examples that link religious teachings with scientific theories. In conclusion, the integration of religion and science in Biology learning at SMA 4 Padangsidimpuan provides a more comprehensive understanding for students, where they not only learn scientific concepts, but also appreciate the relationship between science and religious teachings in their lives. This approach enriches students' insights and fosters positive attitudes towards both fields.]]>
