Where did Science come form? It was invented by creationists/Christians. Most of the founding scientists were Christians. Most discoveries were made by Christians.

Not all Creationists and Christians agree on the Creation so your include all statements are false.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Most scientists are also right-handed. But did Christianity or right-handedness directly influence the scientific method? Probably not. Christianity, like all religions, is predicated on faith, whereas the scientific method is based on observation and empirical evidence. Faith and science are very different processes, even though they can co-exist in the same individual.

I am a Christian. I am a scientist. Most scientists in the USA are people of faith. Most Christian denominations have no problem with acceptance of the theory of evolution.

Science is a methodology that has its roots far into the ancient world. Archimedes of Syracuse detailed a methodology for measuring density, in order to determine experimentally the purity of gold.

Science owes an immeasurable debt to many Christian and Jewish scientists as well. But creationism is not a contribution to science, creationism as a movement is in opposition to science.

Creationism is not simply belief that God was responsible for creation, it is a belief in a literal account of Genesis with the separate and “special” creation of living things, usually presumed to have happened not very long ago.

This movement was formed in opposition to science, and they retain this anti science philosophy to this day.
