&gt;There’s nothing in Christian theology that forbids it, and much that would require it. 

Uriel the archangel is also known as the angel of Knowledge and Wisdom.

I really don't understand the science vs religion thing. Religion has been a bastion of scientific advancement across the centuries - not always, but fairly consistantly.

To be fair, the primary reason for that is that religious institutions and its members had the time and, importantly, base of learning for this kind of work; the dominant role was one brought into existence by weighted sampling.

The Scientific Revolution right before the Age of Enlightenment, on the other hand, was marked by a split with religious influence on science, and was steered by ancient Greek culture. The Golden Age of Islam experienced Hellenization as well, and while al-Khwarizmi was employed by the caliph’s House of Wisdom, al-Haytham was able to make a living outside of religion and eschewed it, to name two important historic figures.

Now, Draper’s conflict theory in terms of the history of science isn’t exactly universally acclaimed, and most research on this topic paints a mixed picture, meaning that religion had both positive and negative influences, which is accurate.

Given the history of science, I just take issue with an unqualified praise of religious institutions as bastions of scientific advancement. While true, the implication is often that religion played a driving factor instead of the circumstances clustering the process.
