Although I favor Christian Doctrine I don't think it is responsible for the Scientific method other than perhaps a desire for the truth whatever it may be.
Scientific development has been motivated more by War, greed, and curiosity than religious doctrine.
If anything religious doctrine has pretty much been satisfied with the status quo rather than scientific advancement.
I'm not saying that there haven't been plenty of scientists and inventors that were religious but their scientific motivation wasn't to get closer to God through science, and certainly most have not tried to prove God's existence with science.There is always going to be some being or beings at the tippy top.
Religion is about a favorable relationship with God.
You don't need a rocket ship for that.
