>You're -actually- denying evidence I've given you
Provide a source for that information. It's widely know that they thought about comets superstitiously and that those events were portentous. I already told you this, and provided an example with ancient sources. You didn't.

>but this means nothing to a people who understand that "supernatural claims / miracles" are only "proofs" for the willfully gullible or extremely primitive.
Miracles are still proof of the supernatural and that you have the Holy Spirit of God. They are proof nonetheless.
Muhammad's supposed "miracle" is a book that goes against Scripture while at the same time claiming to be a revelation of the same God of Abraham. This accusation of yours in the quote above is best suited for the muslims that gullibly believe what he said without checking the scriptures that their book says to do. He claimed to be a prophet with no (supernatural) proof and seduced others by carnal desires because he couldn't convince otherwise. This is basically Aquinas' argument.

>history
Notice how I said "The Christian origins of the scientific REVOLUTION". All pioneers of this revolution were Christians.

Pope Sylvester II began to spread knowledge of Arabic numerals throughout Europe beginning in the 980s. The European acceptance of Hindu-Arabic numerals was precipitated by the invention of the printing press in the 15th century. The printing press and its invention allowed for the dissemination of knowledge to the masses, spreading the word in the vernacular and allowing for the printing of pamphlets, debates, arguments and posters that would insight debate and discussions. This marked the increase of literacy and intellect.
Such revolutionary period would involve a host of figures from across the continent, including many from the British Isles. One of the most influential figures was Christian named Francis Bacon, an English statesman and philosopher who developed the scientific methodology earning him the title “father of empiricism”.
By the mid-16th century, Arabic numerals were in common use throughout most of Europe. Notice the timegap between the numerals' adoption. Roman numerals were also widely used, but with the addition of Arabic numerals, society was able to have options for their presentations of numbers in written language.

I don't have enough words to give a full breakdown so here's a great video that shows you why the scientific revolution was Christian, and how you are wrong and that anon is correct.
