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"

Fall of Muslim science

There is no such thing as "religious science", the two do not mix.
There certainly are periods worldwide where a society has made a contribution yes, but that does not make any religion or god real. Our species ability to make discoveries is in our evolution, not in old mythology. Science is completely independent of any religion. |
