No, Left-wing.

They were Communists.

confused by the term"republican" used there

Nationalist Spain was the right-wing contengent.

People have always been searching for meaning & explonation for the world. For some people best answer is God, because with God and religion you can have fundamental meaning behind everything.

But, yeah, Republican Spain hated religion so much that they actually perpetrated Post-Mortem desecration.

I personally believe that "god" is an excuse to stop asking and looking

God was reason why people started to investigate the world

initially, yes.

(At least in christianity)

people don't know that science was actually based initially from church influences

Not really, no.

Doesn't apply for muslims, as their inventions lasted for only 100years

however when the evidence started to state things to the contrary, they grew apart

yes little boots, yes.

the first scientists were of the church

Generally, Scientists, up until recently, mainly did their scientific work to try to figure out how things worked as a means of understanding God's creation.

exactly

Most of the anti-Scientific stuff came about as a result of the Protestant Reformation.

Mosts scientistist through the history have been christians as well. Like Newton, Einstein, even Darwin. Does this make the names anything less belieable? I think not.

not at all

If you look at the condemnation of most scientific figures and when they were condemned, most were between the 1550's and the 1650's.

most scientists today are christian as well

Well, thats biggest religion as well <:smugpepe:445634631950139403>

Lmao

you don't have to be an atheist to be a good scientist. You just have to seperate the evidence from faith

True

But sometimes it isn't as straight forward. Sometimes new evidence gives you 100new and harder questions

science is always supposed to open up more questions though

Generally, I consider the idea that religion "held back science" to largely be a misunderstanding based entirely on the persecutions during the Protestant Reformation period.

otherwise, I wouldn't consider it good science

EkhemGenderStudiesEKHEM

The only thing that held back science is the documented cases where the church believed something to be herasy and burned them

such as the world being round

not sure if that specific example happened, but I know the church did burn a lot of people for stating science fact that contradicted the church

During a time when they were obsessing over "heresy" due to the Protestant Reformation dividing Europe.

It was the religious schism that resulted in the persecutions in question.

Nearly every people on everynation through the history have known that the earth is round & some even knew that the earth is orbiting around the sun (like jews).
Only exceptions are now a day muslims & medieval europeans

fucking flat earthers...

XD

and yea... it seems in history we had a period of great understanding, then somehow got fucking stupid... and had to relearn it all again
