Please go away... I don't mean to be rude but this thread was intended to see what the religious theology instills into people so I can show an alternate perspective, and have readers ask questions to do so. You are referring to my previous posts where I depicted what happened to me as a response to someone saying something intended to insult BOTH sides of the argument because it was directed towards you. I have to wait until this happens to Islam or atleast for now. Goodbye all... I wish I could stay... Azaqua said if I continue and I succeed radical Islam will be more dominant because people look for a higher power for help. I don't believe her. Well goodbye everyone for now.
Please tell me, how has Christianity benefited humanity in fields of technology?

no - all you have done is put up a silly list of people who were christians
the question was - what has christianity done for science ?
not what christians have done for science ?
if you do not understand the difference between the two questions then dawg help you
PS :
to illustrate the idiocy of your " logic " - then using your metrics :
christianity has started every european war in the last 1000 years
no - all you have done is put up a silly list of people who were christians
This is a list of Christians in science and technology. Persons in this list should have their Christianity as relevant to their notable activities or public life, and who have publicly identified themselves as Christians or as of a Christian denomination.
