    Evolutionary research HAS been a massive benefit to the human population. Virtually all medical research requires evolutionary biology to some extent.

      Does he believe the inventions that allowed modern medicine and telecommunications were all inspired purely by God? (who only seems to ‘inspire’ religiously ambivalent scientists and researchers)

        I think it’s mostly a western thing that researchers and scientists are assumed to be ambivalent about religion.

        Allegedly, eastern cultures regard advancements in those fields, as in fact, inspiration from their god(s).

        Thats just what I hear. I’ve never left the western hemisphere, so I can’t say for certain.

          Christian anti-science mentality is mostly an American (specifically Evangelical) thing. Non Americans don’t seem as fussed about science being in conflict with their faith.
