I think that Evolution and News has it right, religion (Judaism and Christianity in particular) has contributed to the advance of science in Western Civilization. This article is not an apologia for Christianity or Judaism, or religion in general, it is simply a demonstration that in the history of ideas, specially scientific ideas, theology has played a very significant role. It saddens me that Scrubs tried to reduced the rich dialogue between religion and science to the simplistic cliche that one cannot sustain the other. I love the show and think it is a great tool to help people understand the world and the universe, but seeking to sacrifice the role played by religion in order to advance a pseudo-scientific cliche is certainly "not cool." Hope you enjoy the article and share it.
