(flame suit on)

I find the claim that Christianity did more to advance science than hinder ludicrous.

But it wasn’t Christianity per se that inhibited scientific achievement. It was the Church run by men. Churches are a man made corruption. Man learned it could take the teachings of the Bible and twist them and use them to control the populations. Something that still goes on today.

Read “The Rise of Early Modern Science - Islam, China, and the West”.

Christianity is the basis of “the West” and due to the underlying beliefs of Christianity, science advanced.

The other worldviews of the time inhibited scientific advancement.
