Informative. It is a correction. Now you can avoid making the same error again and again. It's like pointing out that you can't use a plural pronoun to reference a singular antecedent. You're welcome.
You could have avoided this waste of bandwidth.
... or the discovery of fire. Since the discovery of fire occurred much earlier, it obviously had far greater impact.
You can't use a plural pronoun "they" with a singular antecedent "anyone." You need to use "he," not "their," irrespective of the transformative importance of Jesus Christ. You're welcome.
Nope. Stupid assertion.
I love how people who've never read any of the canonical texts of Eastern religions are so quick insinuate that if Christianity had never existed, and the West had just followed shamanism or one of the Eastern religions, we would be just fine. We would still have experimental science and the great art and classical music we've become accustomed to.
The Christian Bible is very legalistic, and for western natural philosophers it was not a big jump to go from a rational monotheistic
moral law-giver, to a rational monotheistic
natural law-giver. Christianity is premised on a rational personal creator that gave design and order to the moral and physical dimensions of the universe. Epistle to the Romans explicitly states that God is revealed in nature, aka God is revealed in the order and design of the universe.
^^ That backdrop is largely why experimental science and formal logic uniquely is rooted in the west. It didn't develop anywhere else. That Christian backdrop is a milieu that just begs for people to go looking for, and expect to find rational organization and natural laws.
The canonical texts of Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism are not nearly as legalistic. And philosophically the Eastern traditions look at reality as impermanent, in constant flux, and something of an illusion that blinds us to the truth. In some cases, the Eastern traditions are explorations of the irrational, intangible, subjective.
^^ That's not a recipe or matrix that points the way to inductive logic and experimental science.
I do think the west overemphasized technology, empiricism, physical materialism. The Eastern traditions have good insights into the non-empirical dimensions of life. One needs that kind of Ying and Yang.
