Science is not anyway related to Christianity, scientists who were Christains made impact when they ventured out of their beliefs. If they were how ever related the bible should be a blueprint to many scientific discoveries we have today.

exactly! to say Christianity has any contributions to science we should look into the fields that the bible serve as a blueprint for

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?

If they want to take credit for the big bang theory let them also take credit for the pederasty that was/is rampant amongst their clergy.

The very fact that the question the op is asking isn't understood by all you Christians is enough to realize something is fundamentally wrong with you all.

the question is contributions of Christianity to science and technology not contributions of people from christian families

I expected you lot to go to the bible and show science that was picked from there not unchristian works of Christians

So when a christian does something wrong, cause war, or persecute scientists, you'll say that it is Christianity that influenced him. But when the Christian does science, explaining that he is out to discover the orderly laws of the universe and hence think God's thoughts after him(according to Romans 1v20), or when he is inspired to build cathedrals for ages or kick start universities, you then turn around to say that it is unchristian of him?
The likes of Boyle and Faraday were not just from Christian families, they were evangelists themselves, Newton was a theologian, Kepler believed he was influenced by his faith. What about the monk Mendel, if Christianity was antiscience why should a monk become such a great scientists or the priest George Lemaitre. Even the Jesuits are still commended for their zeal towards education, and how they educated the masses of their time, and the puritans are responsible for many of the great universities and hospitals in the west. Newton specifically said his work was an answer to prayer. So why do you say they are not influenced by Christianity?

do u realize how silly you post is ?

I found this particularly funny, "question is contributions of Christianity to science and technology not contributions of people from christian families"

Oh right, because christianity is manifested in the form of a man who can carry out experiments and the bible is an solely written to teach science..

Do u self a favour and reread my previous comment without the bigot mental glasses you have on..

you still don't get it!

when the christians went on a rampage killing the pagans of Europe, they did that screaming Jesus and to the honour of their religion as they pick up from the example of evil characters painted holy like Moses. the only reason these killings existed in the first place was to spread Christianity - there you have the evils of Christianity
I can mention more evils of Christianity if you so wish

but no scientific movement or theory has been founded on the Bible, unlike the Crusades, Inquisition etc

I don't have to know anything about Newton other than what he is famous for - Physics. In all the biographies I've read about him nothing about evangelism was discussed, I remember his love life was discussed, his childhood, his family but not he being an evangelist. ..that means either he wasn't an evangelist or his evangelist activities held no importance to anyone . and he being an evangelist(if he was) will only help your argument if his contributions to physics were gotten from the bible, like his contributions to evangelism would have been gotten from the bible

it's very simple really, I don't see why this topic is top difficult for your kind to understand

The same way you explain that the crusaders attributed their crusades to the bible is thesame way Kepler and the likes quoted from scripture especially Romans saying that God had made an orderly universe and they were thinking God's thoughts after him. Just google their Christian quotes and how they relate it to science. Francis Bacon who gave us the scientific method was a lover of the book of proverbs and quoted from that book severally as an inspiration for his scientific work. Of course the bible is not a scientific textbook, but we are talking about where this men got their inspiration from. You may say they are wrong or they took the bible out of context, but that is your opinion, thesame way l would tell you the crusaders were wrong and took the bible out of context.

Again the question is not....What is the contribution of the bible to modern science? But....What is the contribution of Christianity to modern science?
The bible is not a science textbook but it has inspired scientific men no doubt, and continues to do so.

you cannot separate the bible from Christianity... to talk about the contributions of Christianity to science we must look at the ways the bible served as source of scientific discovery

let's use another analogy. .If I ask "what is the contribution of football to the economy of Nigeria", you shouldn't be giving me the businesses owned by footballers but the way Nigeria gains economically from the game of football
what you all have done on this thread is like stating the businesses of footballers instead of details of how Nigeria gains from the sport

If that is how you look at it, then there is hardly anything that has contributed to science not even philosophy, because the scientific method is based majorly on verifiable experiments, in that case science is in a world of its own, if that is how you want to see it. But l disagree, because science began as philosophy and was actually born from the realm of philosophy. Philosophy itself is not independent as well, it is usually influenced by religion. Philosophy deals with reason, religion deals with both revelation and reason, but science deals with verifiable facts which are objective and have been tested. So we can probably say no religious book has contributed to science directly but some have inspired science through philosophy.

you see you are wrong! Science and philosophy have always learned from each other. Philosophy tirelessly draws from scientific discoveries fresh strength, material for broad generalisations, while to the sciences it imparts the world-view and methodology of its universal principles and ideas.
The fact that we call it ‘science’ and not ‘philosophy’ is a historical accident and the labels are irrelevant. Newton called his work "Natural Philosophy"
and Many scientific discoveries today are worked from the philosophy of ancient cultures especially the Greek and Roman

Philosophy as we know it has more in common with modern science than with Religion. ..don't confuse the spirituality of ancient cultures for religion

SHALOM!

JEWISH Religion is responsible for the invention of the technique to transport NITROGYCERINE by RAIL.

. JOB 38:22-23.

22. "Hast thou entered into the Treasures of the Snow? Or hast thou entered into the Treasures of the Hail.
23. "Which I have reserved against the Time of Trouble, against the Day of Battle and War?"

Nitroglycerine is very important in killing very many people very fast. So, Oyinbos valued it.

This enabled Jewish Chemist CHAIM WEISZMAN to extract THE BALFOUR DECLARATION, paving the way for the modern state of Israel. He realized from the passage that SHAVED ICE would enable the substance to be safely transported.

(2) THE BIBLE FORETOLD THAT SEAWATER WOULD BE AN ABUNDANT RESOURCE.

. ISAIAH 60:5.

5. Then thou shalt see, and flow together,
and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged;
because the Abundance of the Sea
shall be converted unto thee,
the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

Specifically, that of the DEAD SEA- which the Gentiles GAVE to Israel, considering it WORTHLESS.

It turned out that its Minerals are worth four times the mineral wealth of the USA.

(3) DIANETICS, the MIND-OPTIMIZINATION Technique is wholly based on MATTHEW 18:1-35.

[quote author=macof post=48075888]I answered this before, but when I tried to find my response, it had somehow disappeared.

Well, I got it: you are just a SHILL, using Disinformation to Harass Christianity, and promote Atheism.

A thing that is done for Cash or Kind..

[quote]when the christians went on a rampage killing the pagans of Europe, they did that screaming Jesus

OKAY: Full stop!

Provide the EVIDENCE of CHRISTIANS on ANY sort of a "RAMPAGE," and "KILLING" anybody by any means.

"Rampaging" and "Killing" are AGAINST the Teachings of Yahshua, so anybody doing such CANNOT BE CONNEVTED TO HIM.

and to the honour of their religion as they pick up from the example of evil characters painted holy like Moses. the only reason these killings existed in the first place was to spread Christianity - there you have the evils of Christianity
