Of all the 1000s of cultures in history, it was the Biblical & Judeo/Christian & creationist views that built the foundations & infrastructure of modern science (modern scientific method, peer review process, 1st scientific journals, falsification, occam's razor, etc.) & pioneered most of its branches. Christian influence led to the first universities (the home for science), in Paris & Bologna, then Oxford & Cambridge followed fueled by the faith's embrace of equality, as all are created in God's image. The Bible & its principles & specific concepts in many areas inspired numerous human rights campaigns, centers for scientific research, medical care, democracy, free speech & more. This also helped Jews & Protestants win ~86% of the Nobel prizes in science from 1900-1990.
The greatest figures of the scientific revolution Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton,Boyle, Nightingale (who God spoke to directly & called her to His service), Pasteur, Mendel, Dr. Werner Von Braun (father of space science&1st director of NASA), Dr. Francis Collins (director of human genome project), Nobel prize winners like William Phillip & Carl Sandage, MRI inventor Damadian & many other top scientists in the past & present were all profound Christians. Without the Bible & Biblical scientists, you wouldn't have modern science or at best you would be centuries behind the present. People who ridicule religion are like immature children who want to disown the parents that lovingly sacrificed everything for them. Atheism/materialism,etc. malign history to suit their dogma &immorally exclude Christianity from what it built. Only people who hate science & rationality will mock & lie about the very worldviews that pioneered so much science& continue to contribute to it. It's like cutting of the legs you are standing on.
In 2011, Dr. Hannam (Ph.D. in the history of science from Cambridge) published, "The Genesis of Science: How the Christian Middle Ages Launched the Scientific Revolution" This & his book "God's Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science" is hghly recommend by both New Scientist and Nature.
"Well-researched & hugely enjoyable". New Scientist
Dr. Hannam gave a presentation on this at the Royal Society (1st scientific society in history, started by a creationist):

Dr. Hannam summarizes his vast research this way:
"Until very recently, almost everyone believed scientific progress has been held back by religion. But today's historians have realized that, if anything, the popular perception is the opposite of the truth." http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Science-Versus-Christia...
David Lindberg, Hilldale Professor Emeritus of the History of Science at the University of Wisconsin states,
'Despite a developing consensus among scholars that science & Christianity have not been at war, the notion of conflict has refused to die.' quoted in the Mythical Conflict between Science & Religion' by Dr. James Hannam. ***
Due to biblical principles, religious, Bible believing scientists & intellectuals pioneered most of the major process & fields of science & many other lesser concepts in science. Here are a tiny few.
• 1ST RECORDED EXPERIMENT WITH A CONTROL GROUP: The first scientific experiment with a control group was done by Daniel in the Bible. See Daniel 1.
• MODERN SCIENTIFIC METHOD. *Bishop Robert Grosseteste Roger Bacon
• ENCYCLOPEDIA, SCIENTIFIC. The first scientific encyclopedia featuring articles, pictures, alphabetical entries--was prepared by a minister, John Harris.
• PHYSICS. Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Thompson (Kelvin), Tait, Lemaître & MANY more.
• SCIENCE & ROCKETRY: Galileo, Johannes Kepler, Dr. Wernher von Braun, father of space science, 1st NASA director most responsible for putting men on the moon.
• GENETICS: Gregor Mendel
• ANTISEPTIC SURGERY/BACTERIOLOGY VACCINATION. Joseph Lister, Louis Pasteur, Anton von Leeuwenhoek, Edward Jenner
• RELATIVITY THEORY. Einstein built his theory of relativity on the work of three men, two of whom were Christians: Bernhard Riemann & James Clerk Maxwell. He also used the work of Michelson-Morely & Morley was a Christian.
• CHEMISTRY: Robert Boyle is called by some the Father of Chemistry. Michael Faraday, John Dalton, a Quaker, gave us the atomic theory behind chemistry
• SYNTHETICS: George Washington Carver
• ANESTHESIOLOGY. Crawford Long, James Young Simpson
• GEOLOGY. Nels Steno the Father of Geology.
• THERMODYNAMICS. James Joule & Lord Kelvin
• WAVE THEORY OF LIGHT. Thomas Young, Augustin-Jean Fresnel, etc.
• FIELD THEORY. Michael Faraday first envisioned field theory.
• OPTICS. George Berkeley idealist philosopher & Christian bishop, showed how images form upside down in the eye.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Dr. Raymond Damidian

Hmm...that's weird, i don't remember anybody ever making shocking scientific accomplishment from studying the Bible! The most you have is people who are MOTIVATED by the Bible to do science, but in the end, there is no example of anyone who takes a passage from the Bible and figures out something scientifically!
Motivation is not same as actual scientific accomplishment!

@Casshyr There are literally 100s of examples of very dramatic discoveries that happened from people following the Bible, including some that have saved millions of lives and add 10+ years to the average life as even National Geographic, BlueZones and the NIH confirm. See my Bible health science playlist, videos 1-7 for starters.

@TruthIsLife7 call me a skeptic, but i don't trust things that are posted on a youtube video. If your claims are indeed legit, then you should be able to point me to some peer-reviewed journals describing your cited dramatic discoveries! Trust me, i'll read those, if you provide.

@Casshyr Videos 2 & 3 on the list are from Blue Zones which is a secular science foundation and is summarizing numerous peer reviewed studies. See also the notes for links to over 300 more peer reviewed studies on Adventists who derive their lifestyle from the Bible and godly sources.

@uru301 An atheist wrote “Militant atheists seek to discredit religion based on a highly selective reading of history…& are quick to attribute many of the most unfortunate aspects of history to religion,yet rarely concede the immense debt that civilization owes to...monotheist religions,which created some of the world's greatest literature,art,&architecture;led the movement to abolish slavery;&fostered the development of science&technology...To regret religion is to regret our civilization.”

@253ja I'm sorry, but NONE of your points are valid. They have all been answered long ago. Go to sites like wwwDOTcreationDOTcom and many others to get the answers.
Both the Bible and the Quran were written by men, not God (except for a few parts like the 10 commandments). God as an author is not on trial in the Bible or the Quran. These are records of people's interactions with God and they are in human language which is fallible. Only God is infallible.
