    The scientific method itself, was developed by Christians(Muslims too) who understood that because God is unchanging, so too must be His laws that govern the world. Just ask Isaac Newton.

  • And what about the Greeks, Mayans, Egyptians. They all had Science. Science is based off of observation, not religion...

  • Implying they weren't advancing in science in order to appease their sun god, or apollo, or whatever. The origins of science was entirely motivated by religious thought.

  • I'd have to disagree there. Science advanced because people want to understand the world and how it works. They want to understand this because it is interesting. People are problem solvers, and thinkers. I'd go to college even if I didn't need a degree, simply because I like to learn. But I'm not doing it to appease a god. In fact, I'm not religious at all

    I'm talking about the origins here, not modern day. The Mayans didn't learn how to do surgery for the mere sake of surgery, but to sacrifice hearts to the sun. The greeks didn't want to know nature and the stars merely because it's nature, but because nature was their god(Poseiden, Jupiter, Neptune etc) Newton didn't want to learn physics for the mere sake of physics, but to know God by studying His creation. Pythagorus didn't create an astronomical theory for the mere sake of astronomy, he was driven from the need to locate the "great fire" which they believe fueled the Universe.
