Science Myths

Islam, Christian Europe, and the Greek Heritage

The noted blogger Fjordman is filing this report via Gates of Vienna. For a complete Fjordman blogography, see The Fjordman Files. There is also a multi-index listing here. This essay was originally published in three parts (in a slightly different form) at Jihad Watch.

See part 1, part 2, and part 3.

From Part 1
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.
