Meteorite Hunters of Morocco

Meteorite Hunters of Morocco
Just look how some money can transform the lives of those Muslim goat herders so they get interested in geology, astronomy and other sciences.





But also since they are collecting the "stones from the sky" aren't they also aware that their venerated Black Stone in the Kaaba is actually a meteorite?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Yes, they are.
