Careful, you're inadvertantly swerving into the fact that the Christian worldview is the basis of modern scientific thinking.
I will certainly accept the possibility that a religion that emphasises submission to the will of God is at a disadvantage when it comes to science. Fortunately, that concept is foreign to Christianity.
On a more serious note, neither religion scores all the points. Scientific thinking originated with the pagan Greeks, was preserved by Muslims, and rediscovered by devout Christians like Galileo and Bruno, who were only too happy to submit to the teachings of the Church. Fortunately the early scientists always put the authority of Genesis over their empirical findings. Otherwise they might have stumbled into heresies like believing the earth moves.
