Since I received several
questions about the MSS show from this week,
I will make a brief
statement.
In a previous edition of
this show, someone laughed at the argument that Christianity is
responsible for the progress and advance in science of the European
civilization. And they responded by attacking the weakest possible
point of this idea, namely that "Newton was Christian".
I had 9 arguments that
were unique to Christianity, and directly responsible for the
emergence of modern science, but due to the limited time of the show,
I decided to present only the first 3.
Imagine that a witness at
a trial came with 9 alibis, but he said that only three would be
enough to prove his innocence. At this point, the judge responds
“give us the best one, and based on that one, we will decide your
fate”.
Christianity is accused of
having stopped "the advance of science". In response to
such serious allegations that many atheists bring, the MSS show did not accept more
then 1 counterargument. Thus, I was allowed to present only one
counterargument from my top3.
And that one with
continuous interruptions
Just for the record:
My arguments, in
chronological order, are:
1)The desacralization of
nature (M.Eliade argument)
2)The Industrial
Revolution of the Middle Ages (Jean Gimpel argument)
3)The creation and
implementation of modern institutions (creation by the Byzantine
Empire, implementation -in the- West by Catholicism)
You only listed three arguments. And your flimsy excuse that "Christianity had to lay the foundations for science and remove superstition" was rightfully treated with disdain.
RăspundețiȘtergereYou can't use superstition (like Christianity) to teach people to be more reasonable and that superstitious beliefs are nonsensical.
