Science & Christianity

This was originally posted 13 May 2004 on my personal blog. I reposted it here on Forbidden Questions on 7 June 2011.

Someone wrote to complain about the religious content she finds in the Apologia General Science program by Dr. Jay Wile. To illustrate the kind of materials that bothered her, she happened to mention the following:
[I]n the first module, [Dr. Wile] makes a point of saying that all the great scientists of the Dark Ages were devout Christians and that the Christian worldview . . . is "a perfect fit with science, and the establishment of that worldview was essential for starting scientific progress again."
My correspondent thought Dr. Wile is overstating his case.
