well said! "CS Lewis and the poverty of Naturalism" is a good primer on this subject. Look it up.

Would it be worth pointing out that the Scientific Method was essentially conceived by Muslim? who had developed it from the Greeks (pagan Greeks)? The real reason most early scientists in Christendom had an affiliation to the church was one simple fact....Only priests could read!...Kinda hard to do science if you can't read/write.

@rackerslacker Algebra LOL among other maths

What about the Muslims, what about there contribution to science? And you can’t be a scientist and be narrow minded!

Burn the round earther! burn the anti earth as center modeler! Keep evolution out of our schools! keep those crazies that say the universe is over 6000 years old out of our schools! .... Not a war than step aside and let science proceed.

Chapter and verse citing for inductive logic, empirical observation, and rigorous skepticism, because all i can find in the bible is that the only careful skeptic who required empirical evidence was ridiculed as "doubting thomas"

Science isn't AGAINST Christianity or any other religion or belief...Pure science is apart from religion, independent from it, above it...Science is neither moral nor immoral, it's just AMORAL. Applied science though, will always face human dilemmas and judgement(abortion, concepts of start and end of life...medicine is rich in these examples), and so, I wouldn't consider real science amoral, opposed to pure/theoretical science.

[cont] this but while I agree with you on the whole bit about God being the Grand Architect of the Universe but to say that Christianity FOSTERS and intellectual curiosity, I must disagree. Those great Christian scientists were scientists *in spite of* their Christianity. The Bible lauds those who accept things that more educated people consider foolish, hardly a ringing endorsement for methodological naturalism and empiricism. While the path to understanding Nature's God IS science.

[Freethinker7718]

[cont] anti-intellectualism. Even your own invectives against atheists illustrates this, though perhaps to a lesser degree. As a Deist, I have no issue with either Christians or atheists so long as it does not cause harm to others. My wife is a Christian and while I am certain she would prefer me to be a Christian she understands if we compare notes between the Bible and what we know about the Universe, it does not bode well for the Bible. Not to beat you about the head and neck on [cont]

[Freethinker7718]

[cont] but that is not to say that traditionally Christianity has been a champion of science. There have been prominent scientist who have been Christian but the vast majority have always held that the "word of God" trumps empirical evidence. It was only after the Enlightenment where Christians began to embrace science and to work with the idea that science is how we know the mind of God objectively and that it was ok to question "revelation." There is however a tremendous amount of [cont]
