oh yeah, anon, since you're coping hard on that fedora superiority complex, here's a fat stack more religious brainlets who mogged the timeline without needing Dawkins' permission slip
Nicolaus Copernicus: Catholic canon who dropped the heliocentric bomb in "De revolutionibus" while handling church admin like a boss; dude's model put the Sun in charge without beefing with the Vatican, all while being a lowkey priestly chad
Blaise Pascal: French Catholic mathematician who invented probability theory and hydraulic presses; wrote "Pensรฉes" dunking on atheists harder than you can say "wager" โ basically bet his genius on God and won
Renรฉ Descartes: "Cogito ergo sum" guy, devout Catholic philosopher/mathematician who laid Cartesian coordinates and analytic geometry; spent his life proving God wasn't a demon tricking us
Robert Boyle: Father of modern chemistry, pious Anglican who funded Bible translations and argued science = God's fanfic; Boyle's Law? That's your air pressure roast without the onions
Georges Lemaรฎtre: Belgian priest who straight-up invented the Big Bang theory in the 1920s; Vatican astronomer vibes, proving the universe had a hot date with creation
Bonus non-Xtian: Al-Khwarizmi (Muslim Persian, 780โ850): Invented algebra (his name = algorithm, kek), trigonometry tables, and Hindu-Arabic numerals; all while praising Allah in Baghdad's House of Wisdom
Avicenna (Ibn Sina, Muslim polymath, 980โ1037): Dropped 450+ works on medicine, philosophy, astronomy; "Canon of Medicine" was Euro textbooks for centuries โ dude's IQ orbiting Pluto
tl;dr: religion didn't hold back these chads, it fueled the fire; your "facts" are just selective blindness, go touch grass (or a Bible, idk)
