Science was once a child of the church.

Its not nonsense, its history. In fact, the Vatican founded some areas of science, and " Re-founded" them;

This is the same article you previously posted, just from a different source. Do you know what tumultuous means? Did you bother reading the article?

The article is pretty clear in its description of how the church has been and continues to be at odds with science. The church now is forced to accept certain scientific discoveries because of overwhelming evidence, but the church has consistently rejected the science as it unfolded. I made this point pages ago and you post an article that validates my point.

I agree the church rejected it, and I wrote its one reason why science left; they could not leave if they were never there! There would not have been a scientific revolution without it.

And the church was its mother. A fact many Atheist seem to be unaware of. Or would soon forget. You would be surprised to see how many scientist were believers in God that actually founded some serious science.

That humans were doing science long before the Church came around is a fact that many Christians and Muslims seem unaware of. Or would soon Forget. You would be surprised how many scientists were believers in Osiris, Zeus, or no gods at all who founded some serious science.

I am not a religious man or a Christian, but I am often amused at how some Atheist seem to use science as a type of weapon against religion, not knowing that science was once a bedfellow with religion.

I don't believe you know what the words 'religious' or 'Christian' mean.

I have never said the church predated science; never!
