— John · John 1:3
MED-HIGH · EVIDENCE GRADE

Not that Christianity invented science — a pathway claim, honestly graded: the institutions, the believing naturalists, and the print engine.

This field is where the honesty rules matter most, so it is stated plainly: this is not “Christianity invented science.” Greek, Indian, Chinese, and Islamic science all ran on their own tracks. What the record supports is a pathway — the universities, the role of the believing naturalist, the press that Scripture demand built — and the believing scientists who walked it.

A friar founded genetics. A priest proposed the Big Bang — and told the Pope to stop using his physics as apologetics. The branches below carry those stories with their grades and their objections, and the Shadow Ledger carries Galileo.
