Christianity not only allowed but encouraged the exploration of the World using rational thought and experiment.
The French Abbot Suger wrote about the Cathedral at St Denis ( 1140-1144 AD ) and what the Goals were in constructing it. A perfect mix of Religion and Science. The primary goals were to :

2. Create a luminous interior where the miraculous light flooding the choir through the most sacred windows becomes the Light Divine, a mystic revelation of the Spirit of God “.
