How does Planet of the Apes deal with the clash between science and religion? Planet of the Apes has a lot to do with science how they get there is science also the time and place is science. There using science almost the whole movie by using future, past and present. When they arrive at the Apes planet the day is shown two thousand years in the future.
There are many statements and examples of science in this movie. For example there are scientists that study on man and when they arrive at this planet everything is backwards the Apes are in control of man. Also when finding plant life on this universe they use science to know that there is other life on this planet. Towards the end of the movie he realizes he is still in New York because the statue of liberty is rusted and halfway buried in sand.
The Apes use religion way different than ours in this film. For example when Taylor writes something in the sand trying to show that he is able to talk and write Cornelius knows and messes up the sand so nobody knows about him. Apes religion is hiding a lot from the public so nobody knows more like a need to know basis. Also they execute and put man in jail for being a part of that species or not knowing about their god or religion.
There is a lot of danger that arises because of no separation of government and religion. For example when Taylor finally breaks free out of jail he is running around beating Apes trying to get away. They throw a net on Taylor capturing him when they caught him he finally has the power to talk saying “Get your hands of me you dirty Ape.”
Like I explained there is many ways they deal with the clash between science and religion on this planet. When they arrive on the planet the rest of the movie is based on religion just because humans were the animals while Apes were the humans
