Christianity played a significant role in the development of Western science by emphasizing the importance of seeking knowledge, understanding the natural world, and stewarding creation. Many early scientists were Christians who believed that studying the natural world was a way to better understand God’s creation and glorify Him. Additionally, the belief in a rational and orderly Creator provided a foundation for the idea that the universe could be understood through systematic observation and experimentation. This perspective helped to lay the groundwork for the scientific revolution in Western Europe.
Scripture reference: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” – Romans 1:20
