SCIENCE & ISLAM EP3 3of6 | The Power Of Doubt

[Alberto2382]

The West is indebted to these wonderful Islamic scholars for their skeptical approach towards understanding the world. I'm sure that not only Copernicus was influenced by the doubt promulgated by Islamic scholars but also Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes who happens to be the father of modernity. I appreciate what you have done Professor Al-Khalili. This goes to show that modernity isn't an exclusive European phenomena.

it's good to know that islam is a more forgiving religion =) at least they don't kill the astronomers who don't agree with them

@KenMcGormick What are you talking about ? Islamic Caliphate ordered Eradication of all Science & Math related Books and Burned away all of them during the Reign of the Caliphate as Math and Science was said to be of the Devil, A Crime against Allah.

If Math and science survived long enough, It's because of dedication by Islamic Scholars who tried their best to survive despite the Harsh Islamic Caliphate who were hunting down Scholars as Heretics, And Now Islam claims Credit ? Neat... Lol

SalaamAlaikum.Mashaallah, Tabarakallah, Ummah Muslimmah desperately needs videos like this.JazakAllahuKhair

@abumusa100 Tater agrees, if it is for the purpose of fosterin an interest in science. Too many Muslims seem to use videos like this to give them self esteem because of what their ancestors did.
