"as far as science is concerned , religion was science 's biggest proponent . in the early days everything in science was viewed from a creationist perspective . you can say that `` creationist science `` was what science came from"
"What early days are you talking about ? In ancient Greece , everything was about logic and order and was put into a polytheistic context . Then Aristotle came along and gave us `` emprical `` thought . When christianity rolled onto the scene , most `` science `` of those first 1700 years ( mostly things like astrology and alchemy ) were seen as witchcraft and such and was persecuted . Maybe you mean the early days of modern science , starting around the enlightenment period . This was the time of a rise in secular humanism and science was largely an extension of that philosophy . They used to just call it `` natural philosophy `` and it was usually at odds with church doctrine . There are , of course , exceptions to this , but on the whole science was not favored by the church . So any `` creation science `` going on was just a bunch of theologians arguing . ( actually I do remember reading about late 18th century geologists trying to fit what they found , including fossils , into a Biblical Noah 's Ark context , and then they eventually had to scrap it because things stopped fitting , and quite often ) http : //www.wsu.edu:8000/~dee/ENLIGHT/SCIREV.HTM I thought this was a pretty interesting page . I never knew all those common chemistry words came from arabic ."
