This 'Humanitarian Aid' would include medicines I presume, and just how many of them are not created by scientists? And how does this aid get there? Angels or Aeroplanes?

Good points, but humanitarian aid by religious people did not start because of science making it easier and would still exist if science hadn't done any of that.

Pretty sure religion has nothing to do with the second sentence of this guy's Wiki page[^]....
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

Tell me how humanitarian aid would exist without science?

Actually, medicine was as a result of Christianity*. I think its funny how people don't realize that Science was originally the desire of Christians to find out more about the world that God had created. It was only recently that people started to pervert the pursuit of Science with the pursuit of proving God doesn't exist. :) *To elaborate on this as a few have replied regarding this, I believe medicine has been expanded via Christian influences. In the end, medicine today would not be where it is without the positive influences that Christians had on it.

... and how much of this 'Humanitarian Aid' is used as a dogma loss-leader? "Have this aid, remember how awesome we are, now stop using condoms / tolerating homosexuals / educating girls." Andy B

now stop using condoms
You're confusing Catholic dogma (which isn't Christianity), but current church 'rules' if you will.

tolerating homosexuals
Actually, Christianity (if you're not talking to a extremist) is about hating sin, loving the person.

educating girls
I can't even begin to think where this statement comes from. As the only religion I know of that doesn't support educating women, is definitely not Christianity.

Are you suggesting people would not help other people without science?

That's one way. :) having concern for or helping to improve the welfare and happiness of people.[^] We don't need science for that. Yes, it helps, but in no way are we dependent on science to help each other.

Dear Religion, This week I safely dropped a human being from space; you shot a 14 year old girl in the head for wanting an education. Yours, Science.

True. But it is my experience that religion makes people better. I know all you hear in the news are about the fanatics but I believe religion makes people better and my statement was that religious people do more humanitarian efforts than science does.

Actually Chemistry was a result of greed. People wanting to turn Case Metals into Gold. The Alchemists became respectable. Not like Physicists, they are still very disreputable.

I disagree about religion making people better. Good people do good things. Science enables humanitarian aid far more than religion does.
