Probably not. I think medicine might be the most vulnerable. Our understanding of the universe, although pretty limited right now, would be far more simplistic. There would have to be an absolute denial of the age of the earth and of the history of humans. Actually, creationists are "scientists" refusing to contradict the bible. Anyone so constrained by dogma could never be called a scientist.

We already have an example of this in history. During the dark ages in Europe, mostly due to religion, scientific progress was stopped. A great deal of knowledge as well as scientific and medical books, and papers were destroyed by the church. Galileo was put under house arrest because he claimed that the earth revolved around the sun and wasn't the center of the universe!
Just think what humanity could have achieved if the dark ages never happened... maybe we'd have already colonized mars and could vacation there for the summer!!!

Yes. It is a misconception that science desires to disprove God. In fact, the mission of science will, at some point, prove the existence of God. This, I believe, will come near the end of times (which I rarely will even speak of). As far as the technology is concerned, look about the Internet...religion has embraced this media fully.

Yes.
Generally Scientists explore what they choose regardless of religious background. The main impediment to scientists have been the patent laws. Originally the patent laws were created to protect the inventor and the scientist. However, over the years, the law has been used to steal from the inventor and the scientist and enrich the fat cats (the promoters, the cheats, the lawyers in large companies who steal inventions from the little guy).

If more scientists would read the Bible we'd have more and better technology.

Er...not really. The bible is all about one creator, I kind of like to think of God in the bible as a portrayel of a universal king, and extremely relgious people (like my grandparents) think it goes against all things written in the bible to "play" god, like experimenting with stem cells and cloning, and all the stuff like that.

One of the signs of the end times is an increase of knowledge. Scientists are only confirming the bible. I am doing research of end of times prophecy right now, and I guarantee you that it is something that is worth studying, for anybody.

Did Albert Einstein bring us good science?
He once said that somewhere out in the great unknown, where science has never probed, there could be a God.
That did not prevent him from providing valuable science.
