Actually, in the 'Dark Ages', it was Islamic science that was at the forefront of the science - algebra, a new discipline, was invented by a Muslim from Persia. It was not until 1500's that European's made inroads into science and when Newton came along simply took science to the next level. I have no problem admitting to facts - but what gets my goat is when Europeans present science as something dynamic during the tmie of Greeks and then stagnant for some period and then the boom. At least acknowledge it a bit - may even help the world political situation !!
