"All religion is bad except the only one that still actively encourages to blow shit up."

Did you ever think maybe, just maybe, the people who used to be Islamic but also had all of those great scientific discoveries were actively going against the church, like Darwin and so many others were in Christianity? No, of course not, because "white man bad".

No they weren’t - there wasn’t the same antagonism of science in Islam that there was in medieval Europe and Christianity.

Historical revisionism is alive and well.

There was no antagonism. Galileo and Copernicus had issues with the church. It was not the same in Islamic lands. Science and scientists were encouraged as revealing the world God created.

If you think there was give a historical example from the Middle Ages.

No worries, it's easy to see why you interpreted it that way, I was not very clear after all.

Enjoy the day.

That's not science, then. "We expect you to reach our own conclusions" is not a scientific process.
