[Too Afraid to Ask] Why is your Country so Liberal compared to the rest of the Middle East?

And I am telling you they weren't scientists, can't you understand?

Science isn't about mixing this into that, and then thinking as if you made something. We have scientific method in which you first make an observation, then ask a question, form a hypothesis, make a prediction, then test your ideas by experimenting and observing, if your prediction fits the results, you build upon it, if it doesn't, you trash it away. Since the dawn of time "medical practitioners" existed since you know, a mutilated or dead human body wasn't hard to come by. It doesn't make them a scientist. Mathematicians existed way before Abrahamic religions were a thing. It doesn't make them scientist either. Math itself isn't a SCIENCE. The best you can describe those people you "copy pasted" would be "nature philosophers". You obviously don't know two shits about science or about it's history at all! So next time you wanna talk about muslims and their contributions to science, talk about Abdus Salam at least, but you lot don't see him as a "true muslim" anyway.

Science is a relatively new concept known to man, and no wonder it flourished in Europe while the authority of religion was diminishing. It wasn't the place that did it, it was the time and circumstances. It requires an open mind and a robust devotion to EVIDENCE, which NONE of the religions can present.
