Amenna.. But religion was always the biggest obstacle of scientific researchs.. Church used the religion to control people, yet basically Islam was the most moderate religion against science, as the Prophet said "Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim" proves this mindset. But again religion is the most effective tool to keep people under control so narrow-minded so-called sheikhs, ulema again used it to keep people at very same level. If you start to learn things you will start to question the system so eventually you will become the threat and go out of control. This simple assumption kept human kind's progress at turtle speed. Notice the difference that I don't blame religion but I blame people. I want to ask you guys this question.. Are we hundred percent sure of the history we have been taught is accurate, what if everything or most of things we were taught was a lie?
P.S: I am a believer but accepting everything without questioning will lead us to same inaccuracy.
