    1. The author asserts the indisputable connection of modern science and technology with religion and particularly with Christian theology. As a confirmation, he recalls that fundamental science (in the broad, modern sense of the term) was formed in countries with Christian culture. And the reason for it, according to the author, is the Christian Incarnation dogma.

       If, according to this dogma, the earthly (human) body can be "at the same time" the body of God, or the Divine body, and if, as the Greek scientists believed, the heavenly bodies correctly reflect the eternal relations between mathematical units, nothing further prevents us from searching for these relations here-  as well as there-in-the-heaven, writes Kozhev.

       "Whatever it was, it was Copernicus to eliminate every trace of "docetical "paganism from science, sending to Heaven the risen Christ body through the system of the earthly world in which Jesus died after he was born. So, no matter what was Heaven for Christians, for all scientists of that era it was a "mathematical" or mathematized heaven. To lay out the Earth in such a Heaven was equivalent to invite these scientists to undertake without delay a huge (but not infinite) task of developing mathematical physics. This is what the Christian scientists did. "
