Western science grew out of theology--yes, theology. Europe's great universities were founded in medieval times by religious groups. It is the so-called “scholastic movement” that eventually developed into science.

The same is true in America. Most of the top American universities were founded by religious groups. Look at most of our hospitals—most have names like Saint ______ or Mt ____ or Our Lady ___.

It is the so-called scholastic movement that eventually developed into science. And they began to make real progress when they finally escaped the stiffling thumb of religious control. I think it was called The Enlightenment.
And many of our modern theocrats want to take us back to those bad old days.

Actually, bored monks turned to science to stimulate their brains for a short time in the Medieval era. They were a minority of people from all over the world who made scientific inquires. Why even those heathen Chinese made strides in science.
