And religion was at least part of what pushed all that learning forward. Like the great philosopher Ibn Rushd argued that the only path to religious enlightenment was through Aristotelian reasoning. And Muslim mathematicians and astronomers developed algebra partly so they could simplify Islamic inheritance law. Plus they made important strides in trigonometry to help people understand where to turn when trying to turn toward Mecca. You were working so well together, Science and Religion, but then, like Al and Tip or Gore, just couldn't last forever. Nothing gold can stay in this world. Nothing gold can stay.
