There's no contribution of Christianity or Islam to science. either modern or ancient

however some Muslims and Christians have been instrumental to the development of science. Science and Technological advancement has nothing to do with religion. .if anything, religion sets it back decades and even centuries

@OP,

Good day, I have a list of the contributions of Christianity to science..................

1.When Galileo taught that the sun was at the center of the Solar system, they made sure that he died in prison.

2.When human kids were allergic to cow milk, and scientists decided that a cow engineered to produce human milk will be the solution, the church claimed that it is a sin to "play god"!!!

3.When condoms were created for bith control, the church insisted that it is better to have sex without condoms in spite of the risk of HIV, because god said, "be fruitful and multiply"!!!

4.When scientists used the blood of a man to cure sick children(the man with the golden arm), the church was against it, because according to them, blood transfusions are a sin!!! James Harrison used his blood to save 2 million babies!!!

Galileo was a christian persecuted by the catholic church. The catholic church also killed other christians for teaching from the Bible instead of "officially sanctioned" roman catholic materials.

Christian scientists engineered it. Louis pasteur particularly made the breakthtough you are talking about here. And he was a strong christian.

3.When condoms were created for bith control, the church insisted that it is better to have sex without condoms in spite of the risk of HIV, because god said, "be fruitful and multiply"!!! !
Who is the church that said? undecided

Who is this church you speak about, that decides whether blood transfusion is a sin or not.
And was james harrison atheist?

That link is about a church that has little or nothing in representing christianity. Christianity is not science even though majority of the scientists that got us where we are today are christians. It is like comparing arts and social science. Do not believe whatever you read about christianity or the christian God on wikipedia, i can give you proof that it waters down the truth of christianity.

The person who "claimed" that Louis Pasteur was in charge of the project to genetically engineer cows, should please go back and do a proper research on the topic!!! The cow I am referring to was engineered around 2011, to produce "HUMAN BREAST MILK"!!!

The "super cow" lacks a substance that causes allergic reactions in humans!!! The name of the substance is "BLG"(Beta lactoglobulin protein)!!!
The scientists simply shut off the genes that produced this "BLG" that is present in the milk of ruminants!!!

The name of the cow is called Daisy,from New Zealand!!!

The Louis Pasteur that you are referring to, died in 1895!!!

There are so so many @ OP . But one thing is sure that the atheists had little concern with science , there were concerned with philosophy and political theories . But as for the instigation of modern science , we have the Muslims then the Christians took over .For starters , the only prevailing cosmological model for the universe - the Big Bang - was proposed by Belgian Priest Georges Lemaitre in 1927. The greatest inventions , discoveries , launching of top universities were all made by Christians . There are so so so many .

Yeah, because the book of Bible chapter atheism verse foolishness says: Do not engage in science or the understanding of your world, else you have automatically turned your back on your God now and forever.

You know what, just keep your delusion to yourself

Bro , that dude is a rabid anti-Christian . Check out his posts - he spews his hatred for Christians like it was caused by an odious emetic . I am now certain that most atheists hate for God and Christianity is not ordinary , Romans 1 :28 is just being actualized

Yes like I said many christian and Muslims have been instrumental to the development of science and technology but that is because they set religion aside when it needs to be...many are prosecuted over this

imagine bringing religion into everything, Muslims will say the sun rests in a pond, Christians will say rainbows are the bow of God to remember his promise to Noah. ..I was told this 3 weeks ago by a christian after she rejected my explanation that rainbows are reflection of light on water droplets

someone once told me there are no other planets like Mars, Jupiter etc because the bible didn't say it, he even claimed there's no evidence, it's just oyinbo trick grin grin

what has the big bang theory got to do with Christianity? that it was proposed by a Catholic priest doesn't make it an achievement of Christianity because it wasn't proposed in honour of any christian principle
if anything it goes against Christianity. .. what happened to "and God said"?

lemme ask you, why has the big bang theory not been embraced by churches?

The girl who rejected your rainbow explanation and the someone who told you about the planets speak for themselves.

The someone might even be justified in talking about evidence for the existence of planets because im damn sure you read about the planets in books. So if he's asking for evidence, please be prepared to take him to space, afterall seeing is beliving.

@OP,

Exhibit Number 5: Did you hear about the embarassing case of Thomas Hogg? He was a man with a deformity in 1647, and his neighbour owned a female pig that also gave birth to 2 little piglets with deformities!!! He was immediately accused by his christian neighbours of being the father of the pig, since according to them, he resembled the pigs!!!

During his trial, the christian court judges tried to force him to confess that he is the father of the pig, but he insisted he was not!!! They then brought 2 adult female pigs from his neighbour's farm and told him to caress the pigs cause they wanted to see the pigs reaction!!!

Thr first pig he caressed remained motionless, but the second one made a squeaky sound and one of the christian judges shouted, "THIS IS THE SAME SOUND THAT WOMEN MAKE WHEN THEIR HUSBAND IS ABOUT TO MAKE LOVE TO THEM!!! WHAT MORE EVIDENCE DO WE NEED?!! SURELY, THIS MAN IS NOT ONLY THE FATHER OF THE DEFORMED PIGLET, BUT ALSO THE LOVER OF MADAM PIG!!!"

One of the many contributions of christianity to science!!!

I am so sure that even you know you are not coherently sound!

Only emotionally challenged people speak the way you do. Try not to bite anyone today so your venom wouldn't be transferred because your very blood is rabid.
