As much as I despise Christianity I cannot say that the knowledge of Greek scientists was wiped out by the arrival of this new Christ god, but fuck me it's tempting to speculate as to how the world would be different if the cunt had chosen Andromeda instead.
The enforcement of Aristotelian "science" by the RCC has certainly set humanity back many centuries. By the time I finished earning my BSc in physics, I realized what a crock of hooey that the RCC had forced on the laity. Religious people used mathematics and fledgling astronomy and physics to keep the peasants in line (for predicting eclipses, for example, for intimidation). In this connection, astronomy was a combination of astrology and physics and mathematics, which the general populace was kept ignorant of. When some of the religious here cite that xtianity fostered science, they neglect the part about how the RCC kept that very same science from the populace for centuries, while exploiting it for their own benefit. And if they are Protestants, they have exactly zero claim, since they belong to a sect that split off. Don't like the RCC? Nail your 95 feces to that door, and claim complete denial! The more one knows about the history of science with respect to religion, the more disgusted one becomes. What makes a current religious person righteous with science? Retconned history and downright lies about history. Disgusting.
