You're really showing off your horrible understanding of history.
I did not say that religious people never contributed anything in the realm of science. I said science would never have advanced if everyone just accepted the explanation "God did it!". And I must point out that throughout most of history religion has been an impediment to scientific advancement. Galileo is a good example of what happened when you didn't accept the church's dogma a few centuries ago.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
