Reddit mentions of History of Christianity in the Reformation Era (Great Courses) (Teaching Company) (Course Number 690 DVD)

Ultimately Western science only operates within a very specific set of philosophical assumptions. An intentional narrowing of parameters for the sake of understanding a particular part of creation in a particular way. But those philosophical assumptions are only justifiable within a Christian framework, and historically speaking, they only came about in the first place because of that framework.

EDIT: I should be more specific - a Catholic framework. Read a real history book, people.

EDIT 2: I know I'm going to get called out on this, so here are some history books which deal with Catholic engagement in science:
