Did the Church suppress science in the Middle Ages? ('Bad Faith' #2)
What's in the series? Previous: Dark Ages? Next: Copernicus Persecuted?
'Everyone knows' that there was no scientific progress in the Middle Ages, because the Christian Church suppressed scientific progress. But the Church did not suppress science. On the contrary, it was one of the main driving forces of scientific enquiry at the time.
With contributions from Dr Allan Chapman, (Oxford University), author of 'Slaying the Dragons: destroying myths in the history of science and faith' and 'Stargazers: Copernicus, Galileo, the Telescope and the Church,' and from James Hannam, author of 'God's Philosophers: how the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science.'
