Unlike today's
currently popular belief that God and science are completely separate,
the historical facts are that science moves ahead because of Christianity.
In his 1925 lectures, Alfred North Whitehead stated that Christianity
is the mother of science because of "the rationality of
God". Even current scientists who reject God or believe
in other religions, use methods and thought processes based on the
Bible--because the scientific method is based on the rationality
of God. A rationality no other religion offers. So even those who
deny Christianity with their mouths, support Christianity through
their actions.
