trouble is it is not distinct - he has an idea where and when science was invented, but since you couldn't care less about it, it s not clear where your conviction that science was "invented" arises from ..... (In other words your stance appears to be "who knows who, who knows where, who knows why and who knows when ?????? But it happened okay - trust me.")
Could you be monolithic religious & an evolutionist?

LG,
The greeks are generally attributed with the origin of scientific thought. You have a computer, right?
:m: You probably have a library nearby too. You can google this well known fact or go to the library and research it.Why not stop making silly statements until you've looked into it a bit?

Why should we believe the information about the Greeks?
Ummm, errr... I dunno?

On the basis of established authority? Are you using LG's tactics on me?:bugeye:
Ummm... What? You want me to go back in time and compile video evidence?
BTW, LG tends to ignore established authority.
No he's not
there is no one making claims of the direct perception of the invention of science, nor claims of the process that enables the direct perception of the history of science
Just some people with some (apparently) good ideas on the subject
When it is claimed that a supernatural being exists for certain, in much the same way it is claimed the Earth revolves around the sun, it is then subject to scientific scrutiny. And even if you personally don't do this, others do.
As for the thread, I'm guessing that "evolutionism" has something to do with evolution. Perhaps it's a creationist's misspelling. So I'll proceed with that assumption.
At least some parts of the Bible allow for evolution:
Notice that these passages say these things were brought forth by the Earth. I'd say this is a creative and mystical way of saying these things evolved to their then-present state.
Of course, these passages are next to ones that said God created these things. So ultimately, there is a contradiction. Did God create, or did the Earth bring forth?
Such is rigid religious doctrine.

and to start talking about the 'invention' of science is something that can be approached as easily as one approaches a Mcdonald's drive thru?
If you can't see a difference between a frying pan and a neutron bomb, you have your head too far up your ass.
I doubt I could fry an egg with a neutron bomb, now, could I?
By the same token, I doubt the guy who designed the frying pan conisdered its ability to kill all people and leave the buildings standing.
Buy a gun, keep it in your house, preferably where its accessible to all.
Repeat with frying pan.
Tell me the difference.
The person that uses the former wants to harm, the person that uses the latter wants to cook, (unless he uses that frying pan to whack someone round the head when it would seem he too wants to harm).
Most people do not buy guns to use, but as a last defence.
So if I decide to sit down and make a neutron bomb at home for defending myself, everyone would be okay with it?
Or any kind of bomb?

Defending from what? A mouse in the corner? Isn't that overkill?
Probably not, the religious seem quite inclined to use these things. However, depending upon where you live people would be ok with you keeping a gun at home. Here in the UK people can't do that, (without specific licences), but in the vastly religious nation known as USA people owning guns is commonplace - hell, the right to do so is part of the constitution.
Guns can be used for many things: They can be used to fight wars, to hunt animals, to start swimming races, to have fun at amusement arcades or to hold up banks or murder people. If you decide not to make anything on the basis that it can be used for bad reasons this would be a pretty empty planet.
