Are you saying that China has never been more advanced technologically than the West A.D.? Are you also implying that B.C. Greco Roman Europe wasn't the most scientifically advanced culture in the world for it's time despite the absence of Christianity?

No, I'm saying the most important discoveries were made in the Christian West. Why? Because Christianity is a unifying worldview - the entire universe is ordered by God so that man can comprehend it to a certain extent. Under hinduism, buddhism, taoism, etc., there is no unified worldview, therefore, broad theories cannot develop. Simple. The Romans didn't really discover anything - they were good architects and engineers, that is about it. The Greeks did come up with some important mathematical theories (Euclidian Geometry, etc.), but the biggest theories were after Christianity took hold, after the "scientific method" was developed. Who developed that by the way? And why don't evolutionists follow it?
