Constable Dorfl,
On the contrary; I read and have read quite a few core scriptures of the faithful. I generally stay away from the derivatives of them though, for the most part.
The egregious error is in literal interpretation of such as you stated.
I cannot speak for the pagan teachings. Based on the little of them I have read, they are of misdirection. Honestly though; I base that off of admittedly limited study of their ancient texts, and the actions of man, which seamingly don't generally align with the words or teachings of their respective "religion".
The only actual fact of the matter that I can honestly reference is that, again; the core writings of those who are faithful to the one creative, benificial, benevolent force that is causal to all prosperous things in no way advise one not to seek scientific indeavor or knowledge. Many go so far as to state it's obvious benifit to life. It is considered the seeking of knowledge. It is likened to truth, as it is, at least in unbiased, logical form.
I get why people try to seperate nature from GOD. And why they act as if science is apart from GOD. But logically, they all go together just fine.
Just because something is beyond scientific understanding(supernatural) doesn't mean it is contrary to scientific understanding per say, or even not natural.
Peace
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
