Science is not based on christianity, nor any christian ideas. Christianity relies on the supernatural. Where is the supernatural in science? Christianity is based on "the mystery" and on faith. It is not based on the scientific method, nor was the scientific method derived from christianity.
On top of that, just look at how creationist groups describe science. They describe it as going against God, an evil materialistic philosophy, and the product of Satan. We are told by creationists on this very forum that the world is not knowable and understandable through analysis, but can only be understood through faith in a literal Bible. That is the VERY OPPOSITE OF SCIENCE.
And yes, the history of science is taught. Have you learned about it at all? Perhaps you may have learned about Galileo who dared to propose an idea that contradicted christian ideas?
Am I hostile to bad science? Absolutely. Why shouldn't I be? Do I challenge bad philosophies? Absolutely. Everyone should.
Can you tell us why scientists should consider bad science and bad philosophies? Or are you a post modernist?
