The modern world could not survive without science, but what has religion given us?

Religion as influenced billions upon billions of people.
Don’t forget, the pioneer scientists and great thinkers were usually religious too.

You can’t simply separate everything and say “science gave us thins” and “religion gave us this”. The world doesn’t work that way. Neither one “gave” us anything...they’re just terms, science being the most problematic to define of the two.

Where the brillian because or religion? or are they just brilliant, and happen to be religious? Religion seems to inspire mostly intolerance of others.

Science attempts to apply some of the following criteria:
1) Skepticism of unsupported claims
2) Combination of an open mind with critical thinking
3) Attempts to repeat experimental results.
4) Requires testability
5) Seeks out falsifying data that would disprove a hypothesis
6) Uses descriptive language
7) Performs controlled experiments
8) Self-correcting
9) Relies on evidence and reason
10) Makes no claim for absolute or certain knowledge
11) Produces useful knowledge

Pseudoscience and religion relies on some of the following criteria:
1) Has a negative attitude to skepticism
2) Does not require critical thinking
3) Does not require experimental repeatability
4) Does not require tests
5) Does not accept falsifying data that would disprove a hypothesis
6) Uses vague language
7) Relies on anecdotal evidence
8) No self-correction
9) Relies on belief and faith
10) Makes absolute claims
11) Produces no useful knowledge

Why would it be either? You are who you are because of everything that has happened to you...every single moment.
There is no way to know if something that happened to you 10 years ago doesn’t end up having a big effect on you now. There are an indefinite amount of connections between you and the rest of the world.

So if a scientist was also religious, then yes, it would have an effect on who they are and how they think. I’m not saying that religion made them smart, but in many cases (most notably in the past) religion still had a great influence on how they thought about the world and their experiments or “scientific” research were still undertaken within this world view.

Would these discoveries have been made without religion in the mix? There is no way to know, and there are any number of variables that could influence the outcome of any discovery or any life.


Get what I’m saying?

Religion has and as long as it exist, holding back science. Someone religious, even if they are following the scientific method, would just give up and say god did it, when they hit their mental limits. This fact has been shown over and over again throughout history..

You mean sciences, because its science vs religion.

Science attempts to apply some of the following criteria:
1) Skepticism of unsupported claims
2) Combination of an open mind with critical thinking
3) Attempts to repeat experimental results.
4) Requires testability
5) Seeks out falsifying data that would disprove a hypothesis
6) Uses descriptive language
7) Performs controlled experiments
8) Self-correcting
9) Relies on evidence and reason
10) Makes no claim for absolute or certain knowledge
11) Produces useful knowledge

Pseudoscience and religion (your great muslim religion included) relies on some of the following criteria:
1) Has a negative attitude to skepticism
2) Does not require critical thinking
3) Does not require experimental repeatability
4) Does not require tests
5) Does not accept falsifying data that would disprove a hypothesis

Laws that rational people could come up with? Religion adds on extras like...

Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
