When and if the Growing Up series are translated to Spanish, I volunteer to donate a "translation audit", that is, I will review the translation to detect misunderstandings, mistranslations o narrow regionalisms --and suggest changes. Sometimes otherwise excellent documentaries lose their brilliance in a hasty translation.

3. Science owes its origins to Christianity or Religion

Comment #85083 by Armando Ortega on November 4, 2007 at 11:32 pm

It is false that Science owes its origin to religion in general or Christianity in particular. Science owes its origin to man's curiosity, to man's search for facts, reasons and why's of what's around him. Almost every scientific advancement has been resisted by the religious elite. The negators of the mind and the abusers of faith flourish among the ignorants, credulous and superstitious (compare the theory of germs against demon possesion as explanation for disease). I f some believer was a scientific it was despite his faith and not because of it. Where is science and the search for knowledge recognized as "good" in the Bible? (There is nothing new under the sun, science is foolishness before God, etc.).
