Consequently, Religion has brought us Proof of everything we Know Today, even Science, let me share...
Ask A Scientist
"Okay, it all depends on what you mean
by "science." If you mean simply being inquisitive and testing
the world around you to find out what you can and can't do, then
"science" originated with the emergence of the first intelligent
life forms on the planet. Through trial and error, these creatures
lived their lives from day to day, learning what they needed to
survive and gaining new knowledge every day from new things
they tried to do (or get away with), often passing on this
information to others of their kind in one way or another."
This Was not a Religion, but a Belief System, a.k.a Religion
"If, however, you mean the modern scientific method, that of
observing natural phenomena, formulating a hypothesis about
it, testing that hypothesis with experiments, collecting data,
and then theorizing about the phenomena based of the information
you've gathered and the tests you've conducted, then I'd have
to say that true science originated separately with the Greeks
and the Chinese -- both these cultures used what we now know
as the scientific method to discover new ways of doing things,
and how the world around them actually worked."
Both of these Cultures were submerged and based in Mythology, Mysticism, Religion, Gods/gods, & Beliefs... Science was just the documentation of their efforts..
I remain confused on why people use the earth flat, sun rotated around earth, blah, blah, as a fault of REligion....There was no separation of Church/State/Religion/Science/Politics, It was 1 big Conglomerate (Elite Class), with each bearing Power Headed differently by each depending on time, place, & era, and pretty much No different then it is today, however unnoticeable and to our disbelief
