Way to go Blequa completely ignoring my post. Why didn't you answer the questions I posed in that post? Is it because you are dishonest?
I didn't deny that in medieval and Renaissance Europe, nearly everyone was a Christian, or at least professed to be, simply because it was a universal belief that prominent people defied at peril of execution. But, as I explained in that post, Christianity is against freethinking.
I truly wish that Christianity was science oriented, that priests and other clergy are calling for more medical research, that they're not saying how condoms can't prevent AIDS, that they are for stem cell research, for launching more robot probes into space to explore solar system, but they're not.
Let me quote from Leo Furcht, MD, and William Hoffman from their book on stem cell research:
While during last two centuries most of the major advances in medicine have taken place in western world, the barriers that religions in the west are imposing now has caused Singapore, China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and other Asian countries to invest heavily in stem cell research, and without heated public debate over the moral status of the human embryo (blastomere).
The most famous one is Biopolis in Singapore that has generous research grants, tax breaks, and numerous other governmental incentives worth many millions of US dollars.
