    What we call "science" is really a heretically movement against the Church in Europe that became successful because it received the backing of political entities that were trying to break away from the Catholic church's sole and found science useful in both propaganda terms and in it's utilitarian function (the King that actually made use of physics equations were able to build more effective canon than say his "faith based" neighbor._

    For the record, this movement was strongly supported by the Protestant churches of the time, for what it's worth. Puritans, Hueguenots, etc. etc.

    Some of the New England Puritans were not so strong however on their ability to tell a witch from a non-witch :(
