Does Modern Science Owe Its Existence to Religion?

[Shell B]

You wanted statistics about science (modern science) arising from religion, even if this were possible I am not sure what they'd even look like (x-y scatter plots of the number of people reading Bibles while simultaneously shaking test tubes? Lol).

I didn't even say I wanted statistics. I said massive quoting will only be feasible as "proof" if backed up by something like statistics. What I asked for was an outline leading from religion to the origins of modern science.

I pointed out that statistics were not used much back then; you made some red herring point about the census.

Not a red herring, dude. I was demonstrating that statistics were used back then and as far back as the earliest civilizations.

You really think you are proving your point effectively? That's scary if you really do pseudo-mod.

I don't have a point to make. You do. Call me a pseudo-mod all you want, Stat.
