"Invented science" would not be reasonable since the pre-Christian Greeks had science.

The institution of science is something quite different from the Greek philosophy.

In natural science in particular there is a well defined scientific method, formal peer review, hierarchical organization, well ordered division of disciplines and coordinated on international scale.

The science is based on the implicit epistemological and metaphysical assumptions formulated explicitly by the scholastic theologians and philosophers. This was worked out by the Roman Catholic Church during Middle Ages in the form of university system. This is a plain historical fact, although complex one and subtle, requiring some intellectual effort and intelligence to grasp. Sorry.

I could understand if you had provided some documentation for your position but this sounds like simply a personal attack.
