Revelation vs Investigation

"He told of a time, more than a millennium ago, when Baghdad reigned
as the intellectual center of the world, a history fossilized in the
night sky. The names of the constellations are Greek and Roman, Dr.
Tyson said, but two-thirds of the stars have Arabic names. The words
“algebra” and “algorithm” are Arabic.

But sometime around 1100, a
dark age descended. Mathematics became seen as the work of the devil,
as Dr. Tyson put it. “Revelation replaced investigation,” he said, and
the intellectual foundation collapsed."

Fascinating article in NYT about scientists trying to grapple with religion. IQRA!
