Look at all the Science philosophers etc. such as Aristotle and many others in early Science were theists. She also claims Atheism is only good b/c all of the roots stem from Christianity, such Great Britain, founded on it, America founded by it, not on it. This lady had me thinking and it really bothers me, is she right? She says also American Slavery was horrific but that all of us were part of slavery throughout history, is this lady a fox news host? LOL, just let me know how you guys feel about it.
That is bullshit. Humans evolved to be curious and seek patterns in life. Every religion has followers who like to claim their religion invented science.
Google search, "Jewish science" then google search "Hindu science" then google search "Muslim science" then google search "Buddhist science".
Our species ability to make discoveries and invent things is in our evolution, not any religion. We can also observe other mammals and primates figuring things out and even using rocks and sticks to get at food.
Scientific method is completely independent from any religion. It is why a computer will work in Japan, Iran and Brazil. It is why the flu vaccine will work in France and Saudi Arabia.
