In all seriousness. I may blaspheme religion and every religion without exception.
EVERY religion worldwide, women included in our ENTIRE species history, have all made contributions to discovery.
BUT that does not prove one religion over another or one god over another.
It only proves humans evolved to be curious.
I certainly want to see more females WORLDWIDE have more education and power economically and politically. But that does not change as a species, that our curious nature is NOT handed down to us from a divine place.
Our species ability to figure things out, comes from the same place chimps figure out how to use sticks to get at termites and how your dog can figure out how to escape your fenced in back yard. EVOLUTION.
If contribution to discovery proved one religion correct, the Chinese invented gun powder. The ancient Greeks were the first to use the word "atom".
I am happy for this lady, but that does not make Allah real. Anymore than Newton's religious beliefs made his pet claim true.
