→Scientists before Christ: Is this your suggestion?
:: 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)

::: I'm not sure that science really has become more rigorous. Whilst some things like phrenology are no longer around, other areas, such as evolution, are as alive as ever.
::: Are you suggesting the following: "Most of the early scientists in the early modern scientific era who started many of the scientific fields...". That still seems a bit awkward or unnecessarily wordy for me. At the very least, I would drop the ''first'' use of the word "early" if we went with something like that.
