[A. Pole]

Really? So there were no atheistic or agnostic or Muslim or Hindu or other religion's contributions to the current state of science?

How come that universities in India or Egypt today are made in pattern of Roman Catholic institutions of medieval Europe?

Should not rather Western universities use Eastern gurus as scientific authorities?

"How come that universities in India or Egypt today are made in pattern of Roman Catholic institutions of medieval Europe?

Are they? So?

If so, this shows not what was claimed - that Christianity is responsible for all of science - but that other religions can adapt western institutional structure to their needs and *while retaining their own religious beliefs* contribute to modern science.

"Should not rather Western universities use Eastern gurus as scientific authorities?

The claim was that the science we use today is a result of the work of people with many belief systems and is in fact independent of the religious beliefs of those involved in it.

I did not say that non-western belief systems are the only or even the best way to go.

Why is it that some people jump to conclusions so readily?

Please, read for comprehension!
