I’m not aware of any anti-science people here. I am aware of those who follow Christ, but for the most part they are very pro-science, as they see it as the study of God’s creation.

You should be aware of the anti-science attitude here. It has already driven a lot of the scientists who used to post away.

Or was your comment just a cheap shot at those who trust in God and His Scriptures?

Post a solid science thread and see how long it takes for fundamentalists to gather to poke at science and scientists.

Thank God for the Christians, who brought us through the “Dark Age,” guarding the collected knowledge of humanity for a time when we’d appreciate it.

That is not necessarily the case. Here is an alternate opinion: The Myth of Christianity Founding Modern Science and Medicine.

L'ing OL at people who think that posting on scientific-related topics on Internet chat boards makes them "scientists".

Of course that would be the opinion from a website dedicated to dismissing God.

I take issue with your graph.

It was well known to the writers at the time that science in the Roman Empire was in decline, along with the rest of the empire, by the mid-3rd century at least. This was a century and a half before Chritianity had any effect beyond bringing hope to slaves.

The source of your graph, nobeliefs.com, is an atheist site that doesn’t even recognize Lenin or Stalin as atheists. I would characterize this site as right up there with Wikipedia as an objective source.

It’s another group in the long tradition of utopians who believe that man is the ultimate source of all good with no need of God.

However, I agree with you that there is a well-established anti-science element on FR. I just don’t agree with your graph.

The graph seems to be missing a Y-axis scale.
As such, it is meaningless.

You should be aware of the anti-science attitude here.

The "anti-science" attitude here is your mistaken interpretation of a questioning of "scientific" just-so stories. This is exemplified by your bogus chart. It is unfortunate that we do not adequately fund scientific endeavors such as the particle physics lab, but it is the attitude of many vocal "scientists" that foment the indifference displayed by the general populace. It is a stupid act to denigrate the beliefs of those whose support you seek.
