Statistically speaking, almost everything you (atheists) learn has Jewish/Christian roots … especially in the Western civilizations … so, statistically speaking, the author of the Astronomy, Physics, and Chemistry books were probably Jewish or Christian …
Or do you have a data base which sorts all authors by their religion???
Does this make you feel threatened about believing in nothing???

Most Christians don't have a problem with science -- so, as an agnostic, why would I worry about it.
The vast majority of Christians believe that we evolved. In College, I even had a Catholic Priest/PhD Biologist say that it is true.
I don't mind learning science from Christians or Jews. I would mind learning it from the few narrow-minded Christian Extremists who take Genesis literally.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
Astronomy was invented by pagans. Algebra was invented by Muslims. Chemistry was invented by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians (again, pagans!). And the first Laws were written long before the Ten Commandments became accepted by the Jews.
Pull your head out of the hole you've had it buried it and try to educate yourself a little before you speak next time.

Wow someone is arrogant. Ohh wait, you're a christian, that explains it.
I couldn't care less if the the "roots" of modern science were started by chrsitians, muslims, jews or leprachauns.
Science is science. If it disproves or proves god or the supernatural I will go along with it.
Btw, atheism only profess a disbelief in god, it says nothing about any other beliefs we may hold.
You are confusing nihilism with atheism.

Eh, considering the super religious will likely disagree with those books, then it must have been someone real light in their "faith" that wrote them in order to have an open enough mind about the world that their fellow religious people would object.
So, eh, not really.

Why do I get the feeling you treat athiesm and christianity like a sports game?
It just feels that way.....bizarre.

Christians and science are like oil and water, they just don't mix
