It's crazy to think Christianity has become more open to new ideas and the Muhamnadans are less open. It's like they've switched places.
Even if a Muslim started saying that Islam invented the scientific method, they haven't proven that it doesn't work. In fact, they've sort of backed themselves into a corner. If their religion is responsible for the scientific method, wouldn't that mean that Allah is to credit for it? Wouldn't that make it unassailable?
It's even worse than that. They'd be saying that their religion invented the thing that can't explain everything; and that's coming from their so-called golden age. The tacit admission is that Islam was wrong then and even worse now. So what exactly is their argument, again?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
