@Intelektualni kapacitet, nauka i religija su davno odvojene u normalnom svijetu, jer je religija (i filozofija) kocila razvoj nauke.
Da je ovo istinito samo za Katoličku crkvu u srednjevjekovnoj Evropi najbolji primjer je:
During the Middle Ages, heliocentric models may have also been proposed by the Indian astronomer, Aryabhata, and by the Muslim astronomers, Albumasar and Al-Sijzi. The Indian astronomers, Aryabhata (476–550) and Brahmagupta (598–668), and the Muslim astronomers, Albumasar and Al-Sijzi, also proposed that the Earth rotates on its axis. The first empirical evidence for the Earth's rotation on its axis, using the phenomenon of comets, was given by Tusi (1201–1274) and Ali Kuşçu (1403–1474). Kuşçu was the first to refute the Aristotelian notion of a stationary Earth on an empirical basis, similar to how Copernicus later justified the Earth's rotation. Al-Birjandi (d. 1528) further developed a theory of "circular inertia" to explain the Earth's rotation, similar to how Galileo Galilei later explained it.
Da budem precizan: I Kopernik i Galileo su plagijatori - ali su imali nesreću da žive u vrijeme inkvizitorskih dogmata, kao što i mi imamo nesreću da živimo u vrijeme ateističkih dogmata, doduše to je vrijeme već na zalasku. Jasno je da, recimo, islam ne stoji na putu razvoja naučne misli, jer su svi spomenuti gore bili i "islamski filozofi" - pisali o recimo fikhu, usulud-dinu itd., pa nisu spaljeni za tvrdnje o heliocentričnom sistemu i rotaciji zemlje oko svoje osi. Naravno, i tada je trajala diskusija: kreacije vs. oduvijek prisutnog svemira; iliti donedavno Hawkingovog oduvijek svemira (kruga) i Einstenovog kreiranog svemira (Big Banga):
However, the most sophisticated medieval arguments against an infinite past were developed by the early Muslim philosopher, Al-Kindi (Alkindus); the Jewish philosopher, Saadia Gaon (Saadia ben Joseph); and the Muslim theologian, Al-Ghazali (Algazel). They developed two logical arguments against an infinite past, the first being the "argument from the impossibility of the existence of an klix infinite", which states:
"An klix infinite cannot exist."
"An infinite temporal regress of events is an klix infinite."
"\therefore An infinite temporal regress of events cannot exist."
The second argument, the "argument from the impossibility of completing an klix infinite by successive addition", states:
"An klix infinite cannot be completed by successive addition."
"The temporal series of past events has been completed by successive addition."
"\therefore The temporal series of past events cannot be an klix infinite."
Both arguments were adopted by later Christian philosophers and theologians, and the second argument in particular became more famous after it was adopted by Immanuel Kant in his thesis of the first antinomy concerning time.
Samo mala ispravka, madneru - nemoguće je govoriti o makrokosmosu bez "filozofije" iliti posrednog dokazivanja. Ne slažem se sa konceptom slijepog slijeđenje bilo kakve filozofske doktrine, no sve stvari moraju biti u opticaju, bar ako govorimo o fizici kojom se bave Hawking, Einstein i drugi, koji proučavaju Univerzum. Vjerujem da će tako biti, čak i onda kada ljudi odu puno dalje nego gdje su sada - ako se prije toga ne porokamo međusobno (puno izvjesnije).
