Islamic Golden Age? 
If by Golden Age you mean, "We conquered all the intelligent places and then took credit for them before shutting off progress by forcing conversion to Islam (under the pressures of dhimmitude), then sure.
The Muslim concentration within a population is proportional to the decline of scientific achievement. It is no accident that the Muslim world has had little to show for itself in the last 800 years or so, since running out of new civilizations to cannibalize.
In fact, the religion tends to discourage knowledge outside of itself, which is why the most prolific Muslim scholars are usually students of religion rather than science.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
