It doesn't and I wasn't trying to, I was refuting the idea that "Science was originally created by Christian men of faith." Early science predated Christianity.
Ah OK, I see. That said, what is your definition of science pre-dating Christianity? Obviously technology was being created and people were attempting to apply logic to things they observed. However, the scientific method, which rapidly accelerated our progression, was created after Christianity by a Christian man.
Bear in mind, that prior to Christianity people really struggled to understand the universe around them because they ascribed unexpected behaviors to spirits and such things. People didn't even really try to understand what actually caused a fire or how lightning formed, or tornados, earthquakes, etc because they believed they lived in a universe of chaotic gods and spirits. As the idea of an all powerful God who created an ordered, and thus understandable, universe spread throughout the world, science advanced at a rate that likely* never would have occurred otherwise
They sure did. But how does that disprove Christianity? People observed the laws of gravity well before anyone defined it scientifically.
It absolutely makes sense that if morality exists it could be discovered through reason
