:: I don't think it's accurate to say that they started the scientific fields in the modern era, so I would qualify the statement as "in the early modern scientific era", since nowadays, scientists are less likely to be religious than the public.
:: Regarding the Greeks, science has become more rigorous throughout history. See [[phrenology]] and [[race science]], for example. I would be surprised if the beginning of any ancient scientific fields didn't start in superstition. [[User:Drochld|Drochld]] 21:10, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
