>>978118
seriously, they basically named science after it after all

>> No.978132

Probably Islam, back in it's earliest few centuries when it was doing all the western world's scientific research while Europe was in the Dark Ages.

What the hell happened to that religion to make it suck so much today?

>> No.978133

Islam doesn't really count because when it had an influence was when Islam was it's weakest, when it came back full swing they never did an algebra again.

>> No.978165

>>978157
not really, no.
Islam got good with math and medicine all that in the late 1st millenium and early 1000s. It was definitely in full swing. Ever heard of the Islamic Empire?

Religious PERSONS contributed to science.

i'd agree. many monks were scientists

>> No.978240

none. Science invented Science

>> No.978303

It's a clear win for confucianism if it is to be counted as a religion. In general east asian religions score high if they are to be called religions.

When it comes to abrahamic religions it's a rather close call. I'd say all have been more damaging then helpfull when it comes to science. But islam had a nice thing going in the middle ages and christianity helped out loads with literature. Highly doubt that reading and writing would have developed as fast if it wasn't for the munks.

>> No.978319

spinozism

>> No.978321

>>978319
spinoza was a pretty weird guy.

>> No.978363

Basically the only thing the Chinese didn't accomplish was an industrial revolution.

Which I personally think was caused by a defect inherent in all Asian cultures, but regardless they have made most of the foundation of all civilization. We learned a hell of a lot of stuff by killing a lot of them during the crusades. We were like the vikings: way more primitive but an incurable pestilence.

Killing Chinese during the Crusades?
Chinese contribution to science? Woah.
Chinese individuals who made contributions to science and technology were extremely few.

Do you need help reading? I was clearly stating that Christianity didn't accomplish much of anything that most religions in Asia had already done centuries earlier, not until they learned from Asians in the crusades and then pulled ahead in the industrial revolution.
