Europe, the US for e.g... where most scientific and economic advancements are made are and were staunchly religious-- Christian. They designed their current systems based on the roman law.. their missionaries were solely responsible for the spread of literacy, scientific and tech development.. and most countries today reap benefits of this. Christianity has supported a lot of scientific developments and many inventors were religious themselves.Alan Chttps://www.facebook.com/alanniolvojohn.corteznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573231400101816837.post-40062434023231406882015-10-19T10:28:25.828-07:002015-10-19T10:28:25.828-07:00Hi, thanks...

This topic - spiritual/religious/science is interesting, but I think humans have an inclination toward believing in the divine, an evolutionary inclination.
