Science Wouldn’t Exist Without Christianity

Science requires many assumptions to work. A major one is an orderly universe. But an orderly universe doesn’t follow from an atheistic or pagan worldview. It does follow from the biblical teaching of a divine Lawmaker who is a God of order. Science first flourished in Medieval Europe thanks to the rise of the university and theologian–natural-philosopher class. The Reformation brought Christians back to objective understanding of Scripture, which was transferred to understanding nature.

Later scientists like Francis Bacon were motivated by trying to recapture the knowledge they thought Adam had before his Fall. Many atheists have made false claims about Christians believing in a flat earth, opposing childbirth pain relief, and totally misrepresenting the Galileo controversy.
