Christianity and Scientific Revolution

“Lest we forget, the birth of modern physics and cosmology was achieved by Galileo, Kepler, and Newton breaking free not from the close confining prison of faith (all three were believing Christians, of one sort or another) but from the in enormous burden of the millennial authority Aristotelian science. The scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries was not a revival of Hellenistic science but it’s final defeat.” -David Bentley Hart ‘Atheist Delusions’
