Do you believe that Christianity is needed for society to function at peak levels?

You did by using the word repressed.
Learn what repress and anti mean.

Here are examples of science repressing scientific advances

1. **Galileo Galilei**: The most famous example is the case of Galileo Galilei, who was tried by the Roman Catholic Church for advocating heliocentrism, the view that the Earth orbits the Sun. This view was contrary to the Church's geocentric teachings at the time. Galileo was placed under house arrest, and his works were censored Copernicus, Galileo, and the Church: Science in a Religious World

2. **Giordano Bruno**: Bruno was executed by the Roman Inquisition, and his case is often cited as an example of the Church's repression of scientific ideas.

Now it's your turn. Prove that the above didn't happen and Christianity didn't repress scientific breakthroughs :unimpressed:

That's another silly stereotype. Georges Lemaître knew WAY more science than you do, breh. Newton, Copernicus, Mendel, Galileo, Bacon, they knew more than enough science to know that people don't raise from the dead or walk on water via natural means. Scientific knowledge doesn't have anything to do with whether you believe in Christianity or not.

The break between the scientific community and Christianity started in the late 1800s / early 1900s due to a culture war between certain athiest Darwinians (who had already been atheists before Darwin's theory was ever published) and certain Christian Fundamentalists (who had already been theologically wrong before evolution ever became part of it). The Darwinists worked as hard as possible to make scientific communities unwelcoming to Christians regardless of what those Christians believed about evolution, and the fundamentalists worked to make Christians antagonistic to science. It was those social reasons, not any meaningful scientific knowledge, that began causing the disconnect.
It’s impossible to believe the Old Testament is factual and believe in science. How do you reconcile Noah’s Ark? The universe being created in 6 days? There being 4 corners of the earth? Earth being created before the sun?

Galileo was catholic because of the time period he was born in. The catholic church persecuted him because of his scientific research.

To be quite frank the biblical God doesn’t make any logical sense

Neil DeGrasse Tyson had a whole interview going IN on Christianity repressing breakthroughs in science.

Galileo was one of the examples that he used.

Christianity is literally reason why humanity haven’t ascended into a higher level of consciousness… we would be traveling the cosmos right now at will if it wasn’t for religion holding back human progress
You mean with physical inventions ? Or some kind of Astral travel ?

You don't have to reconcile them as their purpose wasn't scientific, but 'spiritual'.​

You mean like the Mali Empire in Africa?​

Luckily there are ancient manuscripts that show where the changes were and they don't alter the message at all.​

Thank God we can ignore the Slave Bible because the Old Testament exists. All those dead and beaten enslaved people can rest easy :smugbiden:

KOONS stay exposing they don’t believe Africa had knowledge and sophistication before Islam and Christianity came there.

You KOONS really believe our Ancestors were savages until colonialism and slavery civilized us, just like Massa taught you SMH.

Yes you do. You can’t just wave it away as an allegory when no where in the Bible does it say don’t take these stories as literal.

Those stories aren’t congruent with science that’s why cope is used to explain it away.
