Personally, I think it's all going to pan out somewhere between terminator and starship troopers.

Originally posted by sasguru View PostThese things are cyclical. I'm sure Islamic culture will rise again. Meanwhile, the West with its growing belief in astrology, homeopathy, freemasonry and all manner of other hocus pocus as well as its short-termism in outsourcing technology expertise is beginning its own long dark night of the soul.
A few centuries from now will India and China be fighting some backward terrorists who come from an impoverished Europe, call themselves Christian and complain about how great they once were?Comment

Originally posted by sasguru View PostI'm not sure that Islamic culture contributed much to the idea of the empirical scientific method which came to fruition during the Renaissance in Europe, and particularly in England, although Islamic culture certainly was more tolerant then and made significant contributions to spread learning round the world, most importantly the Indian concept of zero, without which much of maths and science would be difficult, if not impossible.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.

You may try to marginalise the xenophobic views of MIB, but unfortunately the groundswell is with him.
Call me old fashioned but I don't see how trying to integrate a religion that is obviously so alien to northern Europe is going to end in anything other than grief, we've had enough trouble trying to reconcile the various Christian based faiths let alone invite another into the fold.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
