CHRIST FAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH

Christianity (and all organised religion) is actually a meme in its truest sense.

Who built the nuclear power plants and built the giant refrigerators to make glaciers 2400 million years ago? God must've done it. It's not like ice can occur naturally.

Are people seriously this retarded?

while sound in theory as technology does have a J-curve growth, there is no measurement for "scientific theory," and failing to mark an axis with units renders any graph useless. That's just common sense.

The argument could also be made that any technology "lost" during the dark ages was preserved by Muslim scribes, or that the bubonic plague halted scientific progress more so than any Pope.

That said, its undeniable that Christianity did impede scientific advancement to some degree. Dissecting a cadaver for medical research was considered taboo by the church even during the Italian renaissance, and heliocentrism was opposed vehemently by the religious institutions.
