Science favors Christianity. Heck, Christianity INVENTED science, and as a discipline, science makes no sense outside of the context of the Christian worldview.

Other things that are true in the world of John C. Wright:
- Marie Antoinette DID say "Let them eat cake!"
- Trump won the popular vote
- The sky is green while grass is blue
- Hitler died in Brazil, 95 years old
Other non Christian cultures contributed to it and several scientists were described as agnostic/atheist on their religious beliefs.
I don't know why they think it only makes sense from a Christian worldview.
This stupid assertion that EVERYONE was a devoted Christian, church going, praying, Bible fevered ass like John the last 500 years has got to be called out. Especially when these pricks also play "not a true Christian" with modern notable figures for the slightest perceived disagreement.
Very few people would step out and claim Atheism in the past, depending where you live now many still don't.
And only a few notable science and literary forefathers openly professed and promoted Christianity. About equal to those that spoke against it, which is more important because that was the dangerous social stand.
I've heard this before. It's exactly the same kind of silly statement that Wright accuses atheists of making in his article.
Please keep in mind that Wright did not convert to Christianity from atheism because of any moral or logical standpoint, but because he was suffering an agonising heart attack. This caused him to approach his philosophy from a fresh viewpoint while he was in hospital. Which was where, by his own account, he had visions of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. (I have no doubt he really did see Jesus and Mary - whether or not they were actually there is another matter entirely.)
So for him to claim that Christianity has the higher ground when it comes to logic and reason is bullshit, especially when for the majority of his life he was making the exact same claims about atheism. All he has done is to add fuel to the old adage that existence or not of God is unprovable either way and the belief or non-belief of the individual is entirely a personal preference.
Many centuries ago, the Muslims were at the forefront of astronomy and mathematics. Now their religion frowns upon science...
In both of those cases, people of a scientific bent are forced to (1) ignore religion (most scientists do this), (2) twist real science into ridiculous apologetics of their faith, or (3) stick with dogma and promulgate pseudoscience.
...and then we have the outlier, John C. Wright, who pretends to know ridiculous things and puts his little child-like faith into asinine statements like this post.
Then why were so many of the greatest scientific discoveries made by Muslims? Or Jews? Why did the Church suppress scientific research that showed Biblical error, such as the heliocentric model?
And better question, how the fuck can you be a fuckmothering Sci-Fi writer if you're so fucking wrong about the basic premise of your own occupation? Stick to fantasy,John C. Wrong, it's better suited to you.
Heck
You're on your way to Hell.
Everybody knows "heck" is a substitute/euphemism for "hell" which many consider a swear word and a sin to say. When you say "heck", you're trying to fool God by pretending not to swear while you are actually swearing. God doesn't like to be fooled. In fact, using "heck" to fool God is much more a sin than just saying "hell" in the first place. So, you're on a fast track to Hell. Have fun there with your half-ass attempts to fool God, and us.
Nope. And if the article I linked prefacing the origin of the scientific method starting with blasphemy charges isn't your first clue for a clearer picture of what religion does to science... and social studies, geography, ethics, recorded history etc... then please see Texas. And weep for humanity.
John, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
This idiot is aware that science was around long before jeebus was a fever dream in Paul's schizophrenic brain, isn't he?
It's a shame that John didn't die from his heart attack; we would have been spared his stupidity & hate.
Then why are so many Christians anti-science? You know, being against things like the Big Bang theory, the Theory of Evolution, stem cell research, a millions-year-old earth/billions-year old universe, and even in some cases, a round earth and the heliocentric model? And why has Christianity traditionally been so anti-science? You know, what with the church persecuting Galileo for his correct assertion that the earth orbits the sun.
Science favors Christianity. Heck, Christianity INVENTED science, and as a discipline, science makes no sense outside of the context of the Christian worldview.
Lol
So sacrificing animals is a scientific cure for disease, and vaccines & medicine are religious superstition?
Or are you saying the bible supports evolution?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
