ummm, no. All scientific discoveries ever made did not need, in anyway, religion to be discovered. It is very dishonest to say so. Please read below.

“Religion has opposed almost every scientific discovery in history. In the third century BCE, Eratosthenes discovered that the Earth was a sphere and accurately predicted the circumference to within 100 miles. Yet for more than a thousand years the Church maintained its dogmatic position that the Earth was flat thus staling what could have been heavily funded astronomy progress. Humanity suffered an immeasurable loss when Christian soldiers destroyed the irreplaceable Library of Alexandria. Dr. Carl Sagan estimated that this single act may have set back science more than 1,000 years.

After Copernicus developed the heliocentric principle of planetary motion, he postponed publishing the information until his death for fear of the Inquisition. Galileo was imprisoned and threatened with torture for publishing his observations concerning the orbits of the planets. Many great scientists and freethinkers were branded heretics and burned at the stake for daring to publicize ideas opposed by the Church.

Darwin and Einstein are still vilified for their monumental contributions to our scientific understanding of biology and cosmology. Popular works by modern scientists, like Stephen J. Gould, Richard Dawkins, and Carl Sagan, are criticized for teaching millions of people to better understand and appreciate science.

Evolution, a biological fact universally accepted by every accredited scientist on Earth, is under attack by fundamentalists who claim evolution is only a "theory." And a bad one at that. They claim Creation, exactly as it is described in the Bible, is the "true" origin of the universe and all life. Operatives of the Religious Right employ stealth tactics to gain access to local boards of education with the goal of replacing curriculums in evolutionary biology with what they term "creation science." These operatives almost succeeded in Kansas and are attempting to force through similar measures in Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and other states. Under intense pressure, the Hawaii State Board of Education unanimously rejected a proposal to add "alternative theories of origin" to the science curriculum. Perhaps the fundamentalists will next try to eliminate any teaching of the "theory" of gravity.

Medical science must also struggle against a riptide of religious intolerance. Researchers, who seek cures for diseases like AIDS, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and cancer, are constantly opposed by religious groups over DNA, fetal tissue, and cloning research.

Women's healthcare options, which include access to safe abortions, sex education, and reliable and affordable birth control, are threatened by interferences from right-wing religious zealots who will stop at nothing - including murder and terrorism - to force others to adhere to their extremist views. The Catholic Church opposes AIDS education and condom distribution in Africa and South America where the epidemic spreads unchecked and millions of people are certain to contract the disease and die.

Throughout history the Church record is consistent - they have been wrong on every account. Other than our calendar, which is perpetually flawed and requires an adjustment every four years (leap year), I am unable to identify a single other lasting and positive contribution to humanity that can be traced with honesty to any particular religion.”

Take your baseless apologist bull-shit elsewhere.
