In fact，fundamentally speaking，growing of modern science is induced and promoted by Christianity,which is not a reactionary force．Christianity and science are produced by the person’S feelings，will，reason．So they were consistent in epistemplogy,methodology and SO on．These commonality, consistency came together and made Christianity promote the development and prosperity of science．At the same time，it is undeniable that the economic development of Wes
