I had to think about how to reply to this post because one I did not wish to write a term paper on the subject (which is enormous) and two, currently I do not have the drive to go back and forth over the issue because its a lot of history and I am just lazy.
Well that is your first fault in your assumed statement is bunching all of Christianity together. Seconded not acknowledge the separation of Catholics and Protestants religions. Once done the assumed idea of “war of oppression between religion and science” is a very false statement because it never occurred in the Catholic Church and in the early Protestant Churches of Lutheran and Anglican of the mid 1500 to 1600’s. It will surprise not only you but many that the Catholic Church was not only pioneer science in western civilization from 1100’s to today but were also the discovery/founders of many things that we still use today.
Now how to start this were it would address all possible questions that you may still have, yet that cannot be done, So back and forth we will have to go. What to put first? Do I give you the long list of Catholic Priest who were scientist and the first in discoveries in numerous scientific fields? Do I tell you all of the educational and social institutions and changes that the church had done that built Europe and the America’s in what it is today? (i.e. Universities, Hospitals, Calendar, Genetics, The Big Bang Theory, The Double Helix, Arabic Numbers, Fallopian Tube , Heliocentric Model, Modern Law, International Law/court, and so on)
