The principles enabled us to form functioning governments that prevented tribal factions because they offered membership to outside tribes. This transformed Europe from a pagan ghetto into Christendom. They enabled scientific discovery because the monotheistic concept of a "Father Creator" dictated that the natural world would have embedded in itself the laws of the lawgiver. God's command to "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it" formed the impetus. They enabled human rights because the "Imago Dei" dictated that all humans were "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights."— Paul Bois
