I think that Science evolved out of religion, or rather that they had a common ancestry and diverged at various junctures (with folks like Pythagoras, Galileo and Einstein as punctuation marks). They are now completely different species diverging ever farther apart and no reasonable person can possibly doubt the line of ascent being taken by homo sapiens sapiens. But the claim that the Judaeo Christian tradition birthed all of science is as wrong as the claim that humans are descended from monkeys rather than being genetic second cousins. Thanks, Dean
