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
Even Medieval Europeans knew the Earth was round.
the fucking mayans knew the earth was round and how many planets orbited the sun and had an accurate AF calendar
After Rome got demolished we had quite though times for next few hundred years
fast forward to 1400-1500 and we're like "duh.... earth is flat"
Not really, no.
~~One hint, it was germany which ruined the rome~~
Columbus was not trying to prove the Earth was round. Everyone knew the Earth was round.
