I'll give you that ;) It's all relative isn't it.

many great scientific discoveries were made under the Islamic culture, in fact one school of thought suggests that technologically we would be several hundred years ahead of where we are now if the Moors had finished conquering Europe were they not defeated by Charles Martel at Tours in the 8th century. The dark ages would have been bypassed and scientific progress in a united Europe would have flourished - unless of course there was an anti scientific backlash provoked by religious dogma, you can never tell how things would have turned out.

This is true. Its no accident that we use Arabic numerals. Science, and therefore human progression, is dictated by the rate of evolution of Mathematics. This is not in doubt.
Mathematics would not be in the state it is today were it not for the great Islamic libraries. Therefor neither would we. Men on the moon. Honda motorbikes.
Its all maths duuuude. :lol:

The history of maths is a wonderful thing to read. When I was doing my degree, I just read all about that, when I should have been doing my Partial differential equations, or some ****e.

Oh yeah. Mother Teresa is not all that everyone thinks she is. Not that she was the antichrist or anything, but, to an extent, since she set her self up for Sainthood and a by word for being nice, you have to look a little closely.
That's all.

Massive fan of Hondas too.

The learning from all this thread then is that we should all read up on the History of Mathematics.

Personally I'm off down the pub :lol:

Catholics... What about Catholics... Or are they included cos you mentioned Nazis?
How about gypsies? Sorry, TRAVELLERS? Do they count? Want me to mention them?

I think we can sum up the Papacy with the subtle yet thought provoking words of the Right Honourable Reverend Dr. Ian Paisley;

"I denounce you, Anti-Christ!"

:shock: He did and all. Ha ha ha ha ha. That's fscking classic. Oh man. You have to give it to Ian, he has his moments.

That's brightened up my day no end. I wonder did the pope hear. He probably did, its hard not to. Hilarious.

...Just reading here, one time he was having dinner with Taoiseach (Bertie Ahern), and asked for boiled eggs to help ensure he wouldn't be drugged or poisoned.

And here's me disliking the bloke. He is clearly a comedy genius. :notworthy:

Remember that joke... "I hear Ian Paisley is releasing his memoirs in 3 volumes. That's ridiculous, he only has two- LOUD and VERY LOUD.

AFAIC he's a very intelligent, very principled, irredeemable s***eheel, but what do I know?
