The Dark Ages^TM has been a pretty pretty good marketing gimmick, but the modern scientific method was still begun by creationists.

Well, it was begun by people who happened to believe in special creation. This is not evidence that special creation is true.

The people who developed modern astronomy were astrologers. That does not mean astrology is true. The people who developed modern chemistry were alchemists. That doesn't mean alchemy is true. The people who developed modern mathematics were magicians. That doesn't mean magic is true.

Now I suppose the Creationists will attempt to get astronomy, chemistry and mathematics thrown out of the schools because of their non-Biblical, magical and superstitious origins.

And NAZI Germany was started by those who believed in a MASTER RACE, EVOLUTION.

Not to deny any contributions of ancient magicians, alchemists and astrologers to our knowledge, but;

The people who developed modern astronomy were astrologers

Brahe and Galileo were astrologers?

The people who developed modern mathematics were magicians. That doesn't mean magic is true.

Archimedes, Euclid, Newton and Leibniz were magicians?

The people who developed modern chemistry were alchemists

Lavoisier and Boyle were alchemcists?

Now I suppose the Creationists will attempt to get astronomy, chemistry and mathematics thrown out of the schools because of their non-Biblical, magical and superstitious origins.

God is the source of all truth. That his truth can and has been discovered by magicians, alchemists or astrologers doesn't suprise or disturb me in the least. So to suggest that anyone who is interested in knowing the truth would want astrononmy, chemistry and mathematics thrown out of schools is ridiculous.

Cordially,
