I was in the middle of one of his talks and heard this exactly. I agree...but allow me to just correct one thing.
The "prophet" was a sheikh/imam in Iraq (?) that said math and Satan were connected. Islam had - up until that time - managed to have some pretty amazing feats.
That said, it's interesting how we blindly take advice from men with authority. Whether that's religious figures, famous people, or politicians.
- malkia 15y agoThanks for the correction kloncks! Not trying to excuse myself, but I'm simply not good at remembering details. Would have to watch the video again!
- kloncks 15y agoNo worries! It's my view that religion often isn't the thing that impairs scientific learning. Rather it's men's interpretation of those events. Just needed to make that subtle correction :)
