I was watching Ancient Discoveries last night about the significant contributions
to Science and Engineering from the Arab world.
Most of these advances were between 900 and 1500 AD
I have read stories about European travelers in the 15the century
marveling at how refined the culture of Spain was
compared to the rest of Europe.
I wonder what changed in the Arab world that slowed or stopped their
desire to advance Science?

Some, like Iran, are still going at it.
Muhammad the "prophet" once his teachings started to become widely accepted.
The Islamic world was better that Europe but it was almost all due to it getting tech from it's eastern neighbors. China had been far more advanced but had gone backwards.
The West got better when it decided to start looking at the world and solving problems for it's self.
Nope, those teachings had become widely accepted long before the 900AD to 1500AD period that longview mentions. Try a different narrative.

When enough people are killed for questioning the science in the koran over a period of time, you generally stop trying to question it.
It's "lose", as in loser.
Err no. It was the Christians that killed people for science.. Muslims embraced science and knowledge. Dont think for one second that the Muslims of today are anything like that of the Islamic world in the 1000s or 1500s.
and Muslim not "Muslem"
and its, not "it's"
OP is painful
It's is correct. As in it is. Its' would be incorrect. That would be belonging to its somehow in plural.
Iran isn't Arabic.
Thread: When did the Muslem world loose IT IS technical advantage?
really?
Christianity and the Birth of Science
"Clue #1. The founders/fathers of modern science were shaped by a culture that was predominantly Christian.
The founders of modern science were all bunched into a particular geographical location dominated by a Judeo-Christian world view. I'm thinking of men like Louis Aggasiz (founder of glacial science and perhaps paleontology); Charles Babbage (often said to be the creator of the computer); Francis Bacon (father of the scientific method); Sir Charles Bell (first to extensively map the brain and nervous system); Robert Boyle (father of modern chemistry); Georges Cuvier (founder of comparative anatomy and perhaps paleontology); John Dalton (father of modern atomic theory); Jean Henri Fabre (chief founder of modern entomology); John Ambrose Fleming (some call him the founder of modern electronics/inventor of the diode); James Joule (discoverer of the first law of thermodynamics); William Thomson Kelvin (perhaps the first to clearly state the second law of thermodynamics); Johannes Kepler (discoverer of the laws of planetary motion); Carolus Linnaeus (father of modern taxonomy); James Clerk Maxwell (formulator of the electromagnetic theory of light); Gregor Mendel (father of genetics); Isaac Newton (discoverer of the universal laws of gravitation); Blaise Pascal (major contributor to probability studies and hydrostatics); Louis Pasteur (formulator of the germ theory)."
Dude... you even understand the thread? Have you seen when most of these people you mentioned lived? Long after the start of the decline of the Islamic world. One sticks out.. Johannes Kepler, an Austrian.. pretty much the first Christian kingdom/empire that started to embrace science again after the dark ages... in the late 1500s early 1600s. The rest are pretty much 1800s or later are they not?
I know you want to be a good Christian, but denying the anti-science centuries aka the dark ages of the Christian faith and the Christian civil war wont help your argument. The Islamic world took over from the Romans and kept it going till the 1500s-1600s when the Christian world came out of its dark ages for good. You can simply not deny the impact the Islamic world has had on history and what technologies we have today, either by invention (most basic medical instruments) or by saving knowledge from the Christian dark ages.
