Were there never any major religions, then we would not have many of the technologies we now enjoy.

We might have landed on the moon 100 years ago if it were not for the Xtian crucifiction of scientists. Galaleo Was imprisoned in his own home by order of the church when he refused to stop star gazing. It was considered hieracy to dabble in any studies of the cosmos and many other scientific applications for fear that it might disprove their lies. Even now, in the year 2005, scientists are constantly defending science against the wishes of church leaders who know that the facts don't jive with the hocus pocus of their respective religions.
A few weeks ago, there was an article (I can't for the life of me find it, but if I do, I will post it) basically stating that the Vatican has finally admitted that Evolution DID in fact take place, it was just guided by God. They want to believe it was strung along by the hand of God? So be it. But they are no longer denying it. A small step, yes, but a step nonetheless.The Vatican's chief astronomer said Friday that "intelligent design" isn't science and doesn't belong in science classrooms, becoming the latest high-ranking Roman Catholic official to enter the evolution debate in the United States.
angie said:That isn't COMPLETELY true. In the past, yes. But as of late, the Vatican has begun to take its head out of its arse and get with the times.

eisanbt said:Smarten up now and consider what my justification was. I didn't say that religion was a good thing for science, I said it was an out-of-date model to explain ****. Science is the second wave of 'truth' except unlike religion it accually works. What I said was, during periods such as the dark ages, when all science and reasonability was pretty much horse-****ed, it was religious institutions who kept alive many of the scientific records from civilizations such as the Romans and Greeks and Islrealies. Since religion was still being phased out as the bases of fact, many men of reason (Philosphiors) still made up the religious bodies.
To learn from the past's great thinkers you had to read, to learn to read you'ld have to become a monk. This also allowed you to access to such documents as repriting was pretty much non-existant and most of the non-religious holdings of histroy were ****ed up or burnt down by feudal lords with itchy breads and dull axes.
Take more consideration of reasons given before you jump on a statment.
