MODERN SCIENCE AND CREATION
The ancient Greeks viewed science as a philosophical matter. Reason
was the chief tool of science rather than experimentation. Much of
this attitude came from their belief that the world was a corruption
of perfection. The world was to them an uncreated, unknowable, yet
necessary evil, which God directed but did not really control. Only
when the theistic view of Creation took over did science begin to
study the world experimentally. It was the thought that God had
created matter that made it a thing worth studying. In this view,
matter was real, good, and knowable. By seeing God the Creator in
complete control, science could make the assumption that the universe
made sense. Most of the scientists who formulated the studies of
modern science were creationists. Without this basis, modem science
would probably never have gotten started.

What a novel idea and post! Except for major flaw, it is quite
accurate---and except the conclusion that creationism is more accurate
then science!
The flaw is that Ancient Greece was just a tiny segment of the known
world. What happened there was and still is minor. Most of what it
knew was picked up from the Persian and the Egyptian world. We
identify with it in a totally racist, xonephobic, chauvinistic way,
but even our political system is only remotely similar. Ours is
constitutional, theirs was an elitist commune based upon a massive
underclass of disenfranchised slaves. It copied its art style from
advanced Assyrian reliefs. It got its alphabet from Crete. It did not
even invent "Greek Fire." . . . LOL
The Bible teaches that WE are evil and that the Earth is here for us
to multiply on (which we are doing to excess!) It was science during
the Age of Enlightenment that made modern science.
By the way, all mainstream societies have always sought cause and
effect. In prehistory to modern times, people used the "spirit"
concept to explain cause and effect. To them, it worked well enough
that technology gradually grew in human social evolution to where we
are today. Now, we have no need at all for "spirits" to explain ANY
cause and effect. We can rely totally on natural cause and effect.
