This video is the second part of a mini series about the relation of the Koran and Science.This part describes how the substitution of philosophy by religion as basis of science brought an end to the Golden Age of science in the Islamic world.Sources I have used for both videos:Much information about Science in the Golden Age, but sometimes overstating the role of Islamic scientists: http://www.muslimheritage.com/... classical Islamic philosophy: http://www.muslimphilosophy.co... "Incoherence of Philosophers" can be downloaded here: http://www.ghazali.org/works/t... used as most reliable source:McAuliffe, Jane Dammen (Ed.) 2001: Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an. Brill: Leiden, Boston, Köln.The following article by Pervez Hoodbhoy, a Pakistani Professor of Nuclear Physics, deals with the question, why there was no scientific revolution in the Islamic world in spite of the remarkable achievements in the middle ages.He explaines the role of Al-Ghazali and the Asharites, which was the philosophical school he was the most influential member of. http://www.chowk.com/articles/... article by the same author on the state of Science in the Islamic world today: http://www.chowk.com/articles/...

You are right. I am not completely content with the title myself.My problem was to find a term that describes the culture in that region stretching from Spain to India in medieval times. Neither geographical or dynastic terms seemed to fit very well.So at last I used "Islamic science" though I am aware of the problem you pointed out.

Science is science, not islamic, or jewish

Yes, I know that. I do not see the relevance for this video though.

Did you know that muslims are credited with the creation of the science of chemistry, The father of chemistry is a muslim: Jabir Haiyan

Fair enough. Science has allowed us to understand things, and the applications we create from it are proof of its success. So, with such a good way of understanding the world, religion seems rather pointless. I am hostile to Al-Ghazali becuase he is clearly anti-scientific knowledge (besides things like medicine). For example, he woul dhave us not know about evolutionary theory, about big bang theory, waht our biological and geographic history is, and so on

EverettVLOG also think about people who have perfect hands or other limbs of the body but they can't move... ??? Science till today unable to explain but giving some sceintific narrations showing no conclusion to the problem. So think may be there's a truth... that we need to understand...??? Peace!

@ EverettsVLOG, also remember your beliefs reflect in your speech. To me my religious teaching "evil should not be responded with evil" also at the same time we are allowed to take revenge if we have the might & resources to do so, but Allah prefers us to be FORGIVING!Brother do read about Islam & judge Islam by it teachings / values. I should not judge you, i don't have right to do so, your actions & deeds are what matter to your character. Please Brother think about it. Peace!

everettsVLOG, brother don't u think it's no point making some remarks those even don't concern us. Whatever you believe in, we as Muslims respect it. Brother remember all five fingers on a hand are never alike. A few bad people shouldn't be a basis to a judge a huge community. Brother it's easy to be bad than to be a good person. Peace!
