Of course, in those days Islam was for more advanced, scientifically, than much of the Christian world.
Because christians like even today put all there eggs into one basket and parade around and say god is going to do everything for us because we are in debt to him because were sinners. He wan'ts us not to be happy here but spread the word get followers and then come home. Now they don't like progress some think that computers are a gift from god some think they are evil they are satans creations. then you have the decent christians who are like computer were made by humans but were not given the instructions by god. i told a person that if you hate all of this and all the advance humanity has made go live in a mud hut and see how hard it is.
I've said the same thing to some people who state they hate science. Then why are you on a computer posting over the internet from a nicely warmed house if you hate science?

Don't you want those designing your planes, cars, bridges, buildings, etc to base their designs on science?
You use the gifts of science many times a day, every day of your life, and you have the gall to ask why you should pay taxes for the education that gives you those gifts?
Moron....
They said the same thing about computers . . .
Hmmmm . . . people still work.
Interesting isn't it how some of the very religious want everyone to be ignorant?
