Based on history (note that it's always in the past) the greatest advances in science and education have been in Christian countries.

But NOT when the fanatical Christians were in charge; that was the condition under discussion.

BTW, Christians couldn't even come up with a decent system for counting upon which all modern advances are based.

No, young-Earth Bible believing Christians was what was being referred to. They started most of our (and the world's) great universities you know.

Better spell out what you are referring to here. Arabic numerals?
