Distrust in the church caused by the Great Reformation.

seemed like a good idea at the time

The advent of the grain cradle. This lead to increased agricultural production, which led to a merchant class, which let to idle rich NEET aristocrats that could fuck around and think and invent things.
Contrary to popular belief, there was a lot of technological development during the 'dark ages' and it had nothing to do with Christianity. It had everything to do with fuedalism as an economic system which was the direct result of the collapse of the Roman Empire.
It's like blaming a cult that rises up after a nuclear war reducing economic and technological growth and not the nuclear war.

You have to be over the age of 18 to post here.

>>9786767
What significant technology was developed during those times?

How do you measure scientific advancement ?

>>9786756

>>9786756
The scientific method.

The church.
There were numerous priests, monks, friars, etc who advanced science for centuries.
The "lol Christians are backward and hate science , lol" is utter subversion.

This. Religion has usually been a motivator as it typically births a scholarly class or professions, literacy, and a propensity to document and study. Even in a more primitive form, where in some cultures there was a proper priest class that likely constituted the only literate individuals in their societies. Beyond that, historically for Christians and Muslims, understanding the world is tantamount to better understanding God. Though more so for Islam, as the Enlightenment and things like liberalism, egalitarianism, science, and such, were born in a climate of a variety of different views on God. Not really Christian. It was an emphasis on human agents using their minds to do great things. Whereas for Islam, at some points, it was espoused doctrine to investigate nature. However, Christianity is not the modern warped forms of American/British fundamentalism.

>>9786894
Scientific method and Popper's philosophy were used to attack marxism. That's why it gains popularity.
At the same time materialism was banished from science.

Enough food and peace for people to get bored and start to think about stuff.

The middle east. Everyone here just doesn't want to admit while the Europe was fucking up the middle east became the place where scholars met and where they continued to develop science and math at a higher rate then anyone else.

For some reason Christians get really butt hurt about this fact. God doesn't exist so need to feel ashamed you held back society for a bit.

Being full atheist is just as stupid as believing there is a god. Being agnostic is the only logical answer anon.

>>9787059
This, pretty much.

>>9786773
Not an argument

>b-being a spineless pussy that keeps the possibility of a god open "just in case" is better than going completely against the grain and impressing the potential god with your superhuman will

>>9786772
Not even.

Chemistry. Everything has been dependent on chemistry. We could get by fudging our way through physics but a knowledge of the elements gave us every invention till 1940

OH HAHA , ITS THE MODERN TIME ALREADY? AND THERE ARE WRITTEN RECORDS OF ALL THE TIMES WE ACTIVELY WENT AGAINST SCIENCE??? WELL THEN IF ITS A BIG PR PROBLEM THEN WERE REAAAAALLLY SORRY, BUT ALSO WERE RIGHT AND EVEN TOUGH WE WERE MISTAKEN IN THOSE THINGS AS OF NOW WE ARE NEVER MISTAKEN, WE SPEAK FROM GOD

god, bein atheist is unironically the only sane choice for someone who doesnt deserve to be killed by me on a bad day (the worste fate ever cause im a real bad guy if you tease me billy boy, otherwise im a flower to good peopel)

>>9786756
Both the dark ages, and the culpability of Christianity, are greatly exaggerated by fedor-atheists.

Isaac Newton was Christian, as were all noteworthy physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers.

How do radio transmitters and receivers need chemistry? How to vacuum tubes need chemistry? Sorry, but chemistry is just an especially useful subset of physics.
