This article is intellectually dishonest. It cannibalizes the achievements of men who happened to be Christians, and claims that those achievements are a result of the men's Christianity.
That is not an argument. It's like claiming that Islam gave us our numeric system only because Arab men, who happened to be Muslim, introduced it.
In both cases, you need to ask: where in the religious philosophy does it push for science?
In the Bible there isn't a single word in favor of intelligence, freedom of speech, or the scientific method (which is testing things instead of believing in dogmas).
Your post is intellectually bankrupt. You're judging the past through modern context and lack either imagination or desire to seek the truth and admit that Christianity created colleges, saved female daughters from rape, bigamy, sacrifice (by being left out in the woods because people didn't want daughters) etc, etc and on and on.
ALL RIGHT THERE IN THE ARTICLE.
Color me surprised that you jumped right over ALL THAT and zoomed right in to the part you disagree with...then label the entire article "dishonest."
PROJECTION.
Oxford University, a Christian college, older than heart-extracting Aztec Pyramids. Plus, in my utmost opinion, you smell like ass. Boo!
This thread is not about whether Christianity was a positive contribution to humanity. It is only about science. So spare me the bullshit about saving women from rape.
Besides that there's a very big difference between a university and science, as any non-binary gender fluid graduate in gender studies will be happy to explain to you, the fact is that clerics were the only (or almost the only) literate people at the time.
So what religious people, or clerics, did, has to be separated from the religious ideology.
Take for instance Giordano Bruno. He was a friar. He discovered science stuff. That proves your point, you think?
It proves mine, as he was fucking murdered by the Church for the accusation of not respecting the religious dogma.
I made the motherfucking thread. I'll tell you what it's about. It's about you. Smelling like a filthy, unwashed asshole. And not reading the post before puffing yourself up and parading around with shit on your feet. Now fuck off, Uber Atheist idiot.
"Duuu Duuu, do you believe in evolution???"
"Hurt hurrr, Christianity is no science!! Hurgghgggh"
Yeah, genius. I believe in evolution. That's why I get a flu shot... Oh, wait, you mean HUMAN evolution. Gee, do you need me to make your argument for you? :D Fuckwit.
When normal people make a thread, they invite open discussion. But it seems that you're unable to deal with different opinions. Perhaps you haven't done your dilating today? I know it's a chore, but it's necessary to be a strong proud and beautiful woman. Now take your metal rod and get to it.
If you say you believe in evolution, to which religion is vehemently opposed, you're admitting that religion is wrong. And science developed outside of it.

So you just got owned in your own thread.
