What! Why would you stop at the comma? If you follow basic grammar you’d realize that I didn’t stop my idea at the comma after the word science, but rather at the period. Science arising from religion is the paradox he is referring to, but I am sure you knew that and you just wanted to quote me out of context to feel better. My original quote is found below for everyone to see how you didn’t use it correctly.
Quote: He is talking about a “paradox” and says “as strange as it may sound”, so it is obvious he is talking about science, which today is very anti-religious, arising from religion.

Well you ignored it, so it must be there.

Of course! Ad Hominem is what people who can’t refute an argument resort to. I totally expected to run into from people who hold such an indefensible position as atheism. It is a reflection on them, not me.

My OP said modern science! I have been talking about modern science all the way through this debate. You said I changed terms when I said modern science, so I changed terms from modern science to modern science? I just caught you being dishonest, don’t cry about it.

Yeah I knew you wouldn’t be able to hack it.

[sarcasm] yeah because they kept a lot of statistics in the 16th and 17th century [/sarcasm]
So we can just sum this up as this…
I made a historical claim, I supported this claim with quotes from experts on the matter, and quotes from the founders of modern science themselves and it was all just blown off because you want statistics? This is history! We use historians and historical documents, not statistics that don’t exist. Get real.

Battle of the quotes? You would have had to actually provide some quotes for it to be a battle.
