Is it true that modern science could not have originated in Pagan cultures?

Summary:

The article claims that ancient pagan civilizations like Greece, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and India had an occultic understanding of nature that prevented the rise of modern science.

Greek view: Nature was seen as animated by soul or mind, and Aristotle restricted the use of mathematics in natural philosophy. As a result, they did not search for universal mathematical laws in nature.

Hindu view: Scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita and Manusmriti taught that nature is made of three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas). This belief allegedly blinded Hindu thinkers, as they interpreted everything—including social order—through these categories instead of seeking natural laws.

In contrast, the article alleges that the Bible presented a radically different view of nature. According to this perspective, the universe was created by a rational God who not only gave moral laws but also established fixed, universal laws for the natural world. Biblical texts, such as in Job and Psalms, describe God as setting boundaries for the seas, giving commands to the rain, and ordering the stars, which suggested that nature operates according to consistent principles. Because these laws were believed to be both rational and dependable, early Christian thinkers were allegedly encouraged to study nature systematically rather than interpret it through mystical categories. The article further claims that this conviction, that creation is orderly, intelligible, and governed by divine decrees, laid the intellectual foundation for the scientific method and inspired figures like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton to search for mathematical laws in the natural world
