Are you saying that you think that religion has held science back so that we are scientifically ######ed by a century? Hell, a century ago we were still moving people around on our own planet by railway, we weren't even bright enough to figure out how to pack them into airplanes. Yet, without religion we'd have colonised space?
With respect to your example, that's an example of just how stupid the human race is. Religion has often been a mechanism to deliver the stupidity, but is not the cause... mankind is the cause.

My OPINION is that we should have been in space hundreds of years ago but religion had dragged it down for centuries. We should have had the advancements sooner than the dates we did. How many men of science had ideas oppressed by religion through the centuries.
I think you are just being optuse to win an argument.
