Major inventions and discoveries in the world were done in the pre-christian and non-christian world (particularly India and China), whether they be in Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine, and other sciences.

true. till the mid 16th century, all the books of math and algebra and astronomy (and possibly other sciences like physics too) were english/latin/french/german translations of persian translations of sanskrit originals.
you know given the way they took bits and pieces of buddhism and other religions/cultures and cooked up christianity, the way they took buddhist jataka tales and came up with ashop's fables etc etc, it wouldnt surprise me in the least if we someday learn that they took loads of stuff from hindu math and science and pased them off as their own.
