Islam and science (4375 words) |
 | Medieval Europe was the birthplace of classical modern science, which is generally regarded to have come to birth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the Greek foundation was extremely important for its growth. |
| When East and West met significantly once again in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the science the Western conquerors brought with them was as alien to the Muslims as the science they gave eight centuries previously had been to the Europeans. |
| With the education including modern science that was brought into Islamic countries, especially where Muslim individuals corresponded or discussed issues with Western scientists, it seems certain that the Baconian tradition of a complementary relationship between science and religion was also transmitted. |
