I did not say "technology", I said "science". China had technology (ie gunpowder, etc.) Ancient Greece had technology -- they even had a working (albet primitive) steam engine). Japanese swords are technology.
Science is different than technology. Science arose because of a belief that there are natural laws underlying the universe, and that those laws can be discovered. The belief that this is the situation arose in the Christian culture that believed in a God who created those laws. Science does not equal technology, do not mistake my point.
