>>14145934No, the achievements of Jewish practitioners of science in both the medieval and early modern periods were unimpressive (in comparison with those of more recent times). However, the lack of such achievements should not be attributed to any religious or theological inhibition on the part of Jewish religious thinkers. The Jews clearly lacked the institutional support of churches, courts, and especially scientific academies, and thus had little opportunity to "do" science other than medicine. The only avenues available to them to keep abreast of the latest discoveries in all the sciences were the medical education offered by some universities and their own reading. Later they remained outside the scientific laboratory mainly due to social limitations, not religious ones.
>I still admire Jewish culture btw, but Christianity is by far the most fruitful religion of all time.
