What religious or evalutionary explanation is there for the dramatic scientific discoveries since 1900?

Question

On the scale of human existance, why such a huge rapid advancement in science, health, space, etc. over the last 100 years?

Answer 1

We finally weren't held back by religious opposition to knowledge.

Answer 2

You make science sound like it's somehow the salvation of humanity. Sure there's been alot of good things from scientific discoveries. But there have been alot of destructive things as well. I really don't think and/or believe that religious dogma gave mankind the nuclear capability to destroy all life on the planet with the push of a button, would you? I don't believe religion had anything to do with the 217 people that died in the airline that crashed into a mountain somewhere, do you? I don't believe that religion had anything to do with all the class-action lawsuits against Merck for the number of people who've died aftertaking their scientifically formulated product, do you?

Stop putting science on such a high pedestal. Or is it great only when it's discoveries are not destroying life? Really.

Answer 3

In the Word of God, God said "knowledge would increase." The Bible teaches that God speeds up things. We hear global warming, but the earth has been warming since 1000 AD the last "little ice age." Prophecy in the News explained Greenland today as once very grassy and green and now completely covered with ice since the little ice age. Greenland is melting quite fast today.

Have no fear - God controls the sun, the moon and the stars. God controls the weather. Fear not.

Answer 4

Once the church accepted that they were wrong about the whole Earth is the center of the Universe thing, they kinda kept their idiot mouths shut when it came to science and allowed scientists to experiment and publish, without fear.

They did it for long enough that their opinions became merely relevant for comfort of the soul and not for running the world.

In that time, of course science moved ahead in leaps and bounds and grew out of any need for divine explanations for anything.

Yippee! Free at last, free at last!

Answer 5

Hello Quid...¨

You may recall that when man created the Tower of Babel, God confounded them because united, they would achieve much mischief.

But there is a prophecy in Daniel that says these prophecies are sealed until the time of the end, when men will run to and fro, and knowledge will increase.

Satan is an avid Bible student, and had a meeting with all the fallen angels in the 1700 before the industrial revolution. He planned His strategy to deceive many, even choosing Darwin and Huxley to promote atheism.

You can read about this meeting, and discover more of Satan´s plans for this time. It is described in a biography by the late Roger Morneau. select: www.revelado.org/cult.htm

Answer 6

Improved communication always increases the rate of scientific advance and aids the spread of knowledge.

Answer 7

There is neither a religious nor evolutionary explanation for the scientific leaps and bounds made over the last 100 years; that's attributable to things like changing societal attitudes, history of the industrial revolution, and particularly in the development of the scientific method, in which religion can not nor should not interfere.

Answer 8

There was little or no restriction on knowledge, and many more people had a good education. With more people educated enough to make scientific discovery, discovery will come along faster.

Answer 9

It's an exponential growth. Take a look: http://elementy.ru/images/eltbook/exponential_growth_520.jpg

The Y axis is knowledge, the X axis is time. The more knowledge you have, the more knowledge you can gain in a shorter amount of time due to the knowledge that serves as its basis.

Answer 10

It just happened. There's no religious or evolutionary explanation for it. I suppose the discovery of quantum physics towards the end of the 19th century had a lot to do with the development of computers, and it was also around this time that radiation and X-rays were discovered. I don't think it had much to do with religion, or lack thereof.

Answer 11

I go with religious freedom and a Jungian collective consciousness coupled with an exponential incread in population ie collective consciousness.
