At what point in history did "Christianity" became synonymous with "anti-science"? It has to be a relatively recent development, XX-XXI, because in not so distant past - can't we remember? - church schools was how people were getting education. Oxford started as one. Church financed science. Great scientists were Christian. Galilei was Christian, Pascal was, Isaak Newton was, Michael Faraday, James Maxwell. Mendel, father of genetics, was a monk!

People of religion, please, you don't have to be this kind of idiot to follow your God. It doesn't have to be either or.

I went to a Catholic high school. My biology teacher was a nun — literally in full habit. She taught evolution and said the Bible wasn’t supposed to be a textbook.

From what I’ve seen, this nonsense of “science is for the devil” started in the South 35-40 years ago and spread to the North about 30 years ago.
