Science was actually promoted by people who were ready to rebel against religion.

Copernicus and Kepler actually hid most of what they found out about the universe for fear of the church. Prior to this, the general belief was that the earth was the center of the universe.

Galileo will later put a nail on this when he invented the first space telescope. He died under house arrest for confirming the ideas of Copernicus about the nature of the universe which is a total opposite of what religion has taught over the ages.

Newton came under great attacks and was accused of occultism because of his experiments with elements. The church nearly ostracized him from society.

Though Faraday and Maxwell were devout Christians they too came under attack for daring to explain the phenomenon of thunder and lightning and duplicating them here on earth.

The Indian and Arabic mathematicians that the world owe most of the system of measurement actually built their knowledge from Egyptian and Babylonian philosophers who existed thousands of years before the Abrahamic religions.

Religion, especially Christianity, actually wanted to decimate science and free thinking if not for the bravery of Galileo Galilei who refused to back down about the truth of the real nature of our universe.


Enough of those dirty lies .... I'm still waiting for the prominent achievements made by at the atheists during the medieval era .

Let me drop one fact because loads of them will come later : Medieval [size=14pt]Catholic[/size] mathematicians and philosophers such as John Buridan, Nicole Oresme and Roger Bacon were founders of modern science

Does this nonsense look familiar : " Christianity hindered development " "Religion stops us from thinking" "Christians within the medieval age stopped knowledge from increasing "

That's why I want to know what atheism or atheists achieved during that time .

Atheists dare not voice their opinions in public in order to resist being hanged by "peaceful" Christians. So it is safe to say that they all kept their personal opinions to themselves.

Europe experienced "the dark age" under the jurisdiction of the church. Why is that? Why wasn't there a record of economic growth during the age that was ruled with the bible?

You make it sound like the medieval age was a period of great scientific discovery or any profound leap in the history of mankind.

Dark Ages is an imprecise term of historical periodization which was once used to refer to the Middle Ages but is latterly most commonly used in relation to the early Mediaeval period: ie. the centuries following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.

Lmaoo ... please stay on the topic bro . No digressions smiley

Are you okay? How do you know that your Christians WERE Christians? Your claim must be supplemented by evidence showing their sinlessness.

Please read Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose. I think your opinion about Roger Bacon will change. All these people you mentioned have the fears of burning at the stake if they came out as atheists. This shows you that religion's blackmail didn't start today. To really know what scientists were actually thinking about religion vis a vis the threat to their life if they said anything bad about religion, read the book I mentioned above and James Michener's The Source.

Bro enough of this rigmarole and provide names for the topic .

Here are Christians who contributed to science and technology within that period

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology

These are people who made prominent achievements and these are the people whom you excoriate and mock . Its the second page of comment and you have not mentioned just 1 atheist who made any reasonable contribution .

Christians laid the foundation of modern science and it was done in the medevial age . The little contribution atheist scientists have made can never be compared to what Christians did and are doing .

Enough of these dumb claims you people make . Full of lies and deceit angry

But I have a solution ...

Galileo, Faraday and Maxwell were Christians nau, how does this relate to the topic? How does this tell us what atheists achieved in the middle ages?

modified: Wait oh! Even Copernicus, Kepler and Isaac Newton were Christians/theists sef. LOL guy behave yourself oh! Behave yourself and stay on topic!

Christianity does not support the act of decimating or attacking anybody for free thinking. Stop using the people who pervert religion to meet their own purposes to define Christianity.

Atheism was invented during the french revolution. Before that, theywere part of the church. And you wonder why the church went through the dark ages... undecided

Strawman:
KingEbukasBlog the topic should be changed to "What Prominent Achievements Were Made By Atheism During The Medieval Age?"

Reason:

People can have individual achievements, as long as it wasn't motivated by atheism, whoever they list here would not matter.

What an atheist has achieved is somehow different from what atheism has achieved, what a Christian has achieved is somehow different from what Christianity has achieved...etc

I dunno if you catch my drift. smiley
Now this is a very sensible comment. Change atheism to theism and atheists to theists in your statement and see how many answers you'd come up with.

You guys remember when atheists called us ignorant and posted an article explaining that there were numerous atheists from the beginning of the world . Since atheism is all about logic and reason , why didn't those atheists do anything Why didn't they accomplish anything . Like I told Kay17 , atheists are the least distinguished ab initio mundi

Oh! Sheet!!!

Atheists never achieved anything?

That's enough reason to leave atheism for me, how is it that people like me never achieved anything in the medieval ages? An age when declaring atheism is next to impossible due to fear for one's life? An age when even theists themselves were almost killed for certain discoveries?

I'd better turn theist so I can achieve something in the medieval age

My main reason, and all atheists' main reason for becoming atheists is for us to lay claim to achievements in the medieval ages, that reason has been defeated by this thread

I hereby become a theist from now on, so that I'll have bragging rights to medieval scientific achievements


Thanks KingEbuka for finally showing me the way grin

You are already known to be a lilly livered yellow bellied turncoat who would even force out tears in order to escape anything especially when you have no words...mother of all cop outs.

Sha answer the OP. If you want to be a comedian go to the jokes section. Don't try to use comic relief to dodge this one same way you used grief to dodge the other promise10s thread.
