Just trying to enlighten KP.

Since he likes reading KP should try Avicenna/İbn Sina.

And/or Al-Farabî. There are others but this will suffice for now.

Interesting stuff D., but I cannot see any relation of scientific advances to Islam.

I was merely ttempting to show a 'bridge' between Classical knowledge and Medieval.

For what you ask for begin counting one to ten. Write them down and tell me what you see.

As a point of genuine interest could you write down the Ancient Greek numerals for me. Thanks.

Apart from the confusion they may cause, pray tell me what happened to them? What numerals do you use now? Enuf 4 2day.

I thought we were discussing about Islam though. Now I'm really confused.

[denizaksulu]

Well, nothing confusing as far as I can see. You (pl.) gave up the Greek numerals for the Arabic numerals used all over the world - well almost. Lol

Islam, the Greeks and the Scientific Revolution
ASSYRIAN INTERNATIONAL NEWS AGENCY
By Fjordman
I have written a couple of essays regarding the Greek impact on the rise of modern science, and why the Scientific Revolution didn't happen in the Islamic world. I find this to be an interesting topic, especially since there are so many myths regarding this perpetrated by Muslims and their apologists today, so I will explore the subject in some detail
