yeah, nah. The Church is actually where science took place. The Church provided the funding and equipment for science and observation.

I quote from wiki:
"The medieval period is frequently caricatured as supposedly a "time of ignorance and superstition" which placed "the word of religious authorities over personal experience and rational activity."[42] However, rationality was increasingly held in high regard as the Middle Ages progressed. The historian of science Edward Grant, writes that "If revolutionary rational thoughts were expressed [in the 18th century], they were made possible because of the long medieval tradition that established the use of reason as one of the most important of human activities".[43] Furthermore, David Lindberg says that, contrary to common belief, "the late medieval scholar rarely experienced the coercive power of the church and would have regarded himself as free (particularly in the natural sciences) to follow reason and observation wherever they led".[44]"

yeah, the guy who walked around Israel spreading teachings of peace and kindness, and criticizing the hypocrisy of the Jewish Pharisees was responsible for a period of disease and famine over 1,000 years after his death. Okay, bro.

let me reiterate the church killed anyone smart wiki it.
