As a Christian we are more advanced as we have invented more for the good of the world than our Muslim brothers and sisters, would we be driving around in our cars or making telephone calls . Not at the same time I hope. Well done for ignoring Islamic achievements in mathematics and science.

Also I believe Martin Cooper, who invented the mobile phone, is Jewish. Karl Benz, a German engineer, who is largely regarded as inventing the car was born Catholic, but doesn't seem to have been particularly religious anyhow. He just beat Sigfried Marcus to it, who was Jewish.

To an extent - The discovery of one of the key founding principles of Biology (proof of a mechanism of inheritance and genetics was discovered by Friar Gregor Mendel. Albertus Magnus was probably the most prominent scientist of the medieval period of Europe and was also a Catholic Monk. There is a huge contribution to science undertaken by members of the Catholic church. The question was probably more about controlling that science than repression of science in general. So to some extent the whole science vs faith concept is much more of a modern concept, and probably has much more to do with Protestantism and some of the US evangelism, than the Catholic church - which surprisingly has more of a history of contributing to science and education through out the period of the medieval to modern times, than resisting it. Galileo and Heliocentralism and the inquisition was probably much more about politics within the Church than a rejection of helicentralism - Which wasn't controversial at that time (and had been established by Copernicus)

Certainly there was far less of a divide between religion and science as we understand it since religion was seen as 'truth' and science part of that truth. Control of 'truth' was part of maintaining power. Clearly the battle between science and religion in the modern era exists under totally different circumstances.

In fairness, you do have to go back a long, long way to identify any innovations for the benefit of mankind that originated in the islamic world. Technological advance has pretty much stood still, along with a lot of their attitudes towards anyone who isn't muslim.

I think the Babylonians and Greeks deserve most credit and that is just what we know about.

Is anyone in this thread actually claiming to be a Christian or Muslim (other than me)? Interested. What's next, being a Millwall fan v West Ham fan?
My username has nothing to do with my religious beliefs |

Yep, its largely been atheism that's been driving that beast since the enlightenment. Although its worth noting that in the fields of nuclear science, chemical engineering, medicine, neurology, computer science and social science there are a lot of contributions in academia from Muslinm in or from Muslim countries.
