Where did modern inventions and men of science originate?
Modern inventions and men of science originated in western civilization—specifically Europe, England, and America—as the Gospel spread from Greece into Europe. Europe became the breeding ground for these developments because Christianity set people free from pagan superstition and ignorance, producing a predominantly Christian civilization.
Les teaches that as Paul crossed the Aegean Sea into Greece, the Gospel went to Europe, and Europe became the breeding ground of all our inventions and men of science. He explains that you can trace every bit of it back either to the continent of Europe, England, or as they came over to America. All our technology, almost without exception, came out of western civilization, which had been predominantly Christian. Why? Because Christianity set people free; it loosed them from pagan superstitions and hang-ups. By contrast, pagan religions keep their people subservient, in ignorance, and in superstition. Les urges checking history books to verify it.
