So I am asking you this question, which I would like you to answer; which of the two religions Islam and Christianity has contributed the most to science?

I am not sure what you mean. Neither religion has contributed much to science, since the aims of science are not those of religion. Are you asking whether Christian or Muslim indiividuals have contributed more? Whether Christian or Muslim civilizations have contributed more?
Scientists.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
Islamic scientists contributed more to modern medicine, but Christian scientists (Catholic and Protestant) contributed more to other fields.
Away.
Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism.
I agree that it's the scientists who've contributed the most to science. I hope this question is not really meant to start civilization/religion vs. civilization/religion flame war.
aheism
seriously, though, Islam was making getting farther than christianity in the middle ages

Will you please stop being so patriotic about our sad nation Magos?
Well, I can see why we Swedes have invented these stuff; we haven't been interested in socializing with each other. Instead, we have been sitting there for ourselves, doing our calculations and bla bla.
That's the Swedish atmosphere, and it sucks!
well, up until the late renaissance, scientists and religious officials were one and the same, as they were usually rich enough to get educated.
I would have to say islam, islamic scientists gave us the compass, the "0"(invented in india when india was islamic country), and many navigational acheivements, as well as great mathematical and scientific acheivements.
The problem is, islam started regressing its scientific output during the english renaissance, and is now its current, backwards self.
"well, up until the late renaissance, scientists and religious officials were one and the same"
That doesn't mean science and religion are related, or that religion aided science in anyway whatsoever.
"in india when india was islamic country"
When was that?
