It’s pretty well established that the ancient greeks invented the scientific method. Now a case could be made that Christianity isn’t anti-science like many other religions, but to claim it gave birth to science is utter drivel.
Actually, they did not. In fact, it wasn't until mathematicians and other thinkers turned away from the influence of Aristotle that the scientific method was developed. Roger Bacon in the thirteenth century and Johannes Kepler 400+ years later took the first steps out of the ancient thinking into the modern world.
The Christian religion did not give birth to science--that would be overstating the case to the point of silliness, but there are characteristics intrinsic to Judeo-Christianity which turned out to be essential to the development of modern science, characteristics that were lacking in other religions, including ancient paganism. Christianity provided the proper soil.
