You missed the essence of my point imho. But we are all entitled to our own opinion. I never even used the word gods btw.

I am pretty sure the essence of your post was to give religion credit for scientific advancement.

My point was religion, spirituality, philosophy and esoteric thought has led to some scientific advancement and important scientific thought. I never said all or most or anything like that either. You could run a google search and find Cambridge or Ivy League academics saying similar things.

Can you name a couple of scientific breakthroughs that were discovered using religious or esoteric methodologies?
