Christianity gave rise to the greatest civilization of all times and all that is known in science.
Wow. To dismiss in a single sentence the immense body of scientific work carried out before zero AD by the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese (amongst others) is breathtaking in its ignorance.
Please tell me you forgot the sarcasm tag.

Not to mention that modern science only REALLY got going after the power of the Church was much reduced by the Reformation...

"Wow. To dismiss in a single sentence the immense body of scientific work carried out before zero AD by the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese (amongst others) is breathtaking in its ignorance." Isn't it though?
On another thread there is a poster who is complaining that Science and its supporters are arrogant. I wonder what he would make of this?
