The West's period of least progress in science was 500 years of virtual standstill while the Arabs invented algebra and the Chinese invented gunpowder. That period, the Dark Ages, was also the absolute triumph of religion as the controlling force in life, politics, and everything.

I listed many scientists in post #12. Their discoveries and contributions to science are well founded.

The Renaissance was in no small part a liberation from the rule of religion over thought.

You are well aware -- because I have been faithful to enlighten you in the past -- that the religious and intellectual oppression came from a corrupt, power hungry Roman Religious imperialism that had nothing to do with Jesus Christ and His teachings. Because you continue to characterize Christianity with things that are diametrically opposed to it's principles, I can only believe that it is your agenda that clouds your judgment.
