the discoveries were there to be made, if a christian didn't get there first someone else would have made it sooner or later.the scientific 'progress' in the past few centuries owes its success to churchmen of the incorrectly maligned middled ages.
i don't see how a scientific discovery can be claimed by the christians, they do the same with morality, oh you wouldn't have had any morality without God (us), i dont believe it, discoveries would be made with or without christianity, morality would be there with or without christianity.
i think we might well be further along without christianity.
Further, religion - primarily Christianity devotes significant resources to works of charity.
there again, christianity acting as if it somehow owns charity
christianity owns science, morality and charity... anything else vicar?
islam is the final revelation
god gave us jews this land
let's have a party to end all parties.
