"Without western civilization, you would most likely be a slave or a
serf. Without western civilization, you would have less rights and
justice. Without western civilization, you would most likely be living
in abject poverty. Without western civilization, you would not have free

civilization, you would have no university. Without western
civilization, superstition would reign. Without western civilization,
there would be no science.

But here’s the twixt, Western Civilization started only once in history
and in only one place in the world: Medieval Christian Europe. Canadian
Psychologist Jordan Peterson correctly claims, and I paraphrase, “The
Bible is central to western culture and is the central document to
western culture.” Simply put, without Jesus, we would never have our
Bible and without our Bible, we would never have Western Civilization
and without Western Civilization, we would have no science."
