No, it doesn't.
No, you (Emre) are lying. Because you're telling lies and because there's no "we" No. Another lie from you No. Nobody does it for money, but for the lulz. Do you think anyone would put up with you if it weren't very funny? That's just a non sequitur made with two falsehoods. You're exceeding yourself in making crappy statements. Not sure what you mean. I was never a Christian (or a Jew, or a Muslim) Are you sure you don't want to try that again? Is it a mismatched translation from Turkish? No. When we're not doing our job, we're here entertaining ourselves with whacky believers who post tons of tomfoolery. |

The age of the universe is three times the age of our Earth.
Quran 50:38. We assuredly created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, and nothing of fatigue touched us. Quran 41.9 Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds." The verses say the universes and our universe have been created in 6 days/stages, and our Earth is in 2 days/phases. So the age or creation phase of the universe means three times the age of our Earth or the stage of creation. Today, science also gives a similar knowledge: Our universe is 13.5 billion years old and our Earth is 4.5 billion years old.... In other words, science indicates that the age of our universe is 3 times the age of our Earth(4.5 X 3 = 13.5). |

I'm certain that doubling down on racism is probably not going to assist the claim.
The contention that Islam (the inventor of Universities, Algebra and maintaining virtually the entirety of Greek thought from the Classical period) put a stop to education and learning is utterly false and ridiculous in the extreme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age |

It was the beginning of the end, unquestionably, I never said everything stopped on day one. As Islam took hold and transformed from a personal belief system into a all-pervading tool of conquest, those initiatives quickly fell away. The Islamic world has produced nothing of worth in the last thousand years.

The rules are always the same, since the first person, the Islamic religion has always come.
The people who do not reach the book are evaluated according to their status. The verses in our inner teaching us the good and the truth. Everyone knows the truth under the unconscious . And that's why everyone is responsible. Remember the promise you gave to God when you were a baby. 7:172 When your Lord took from the children of Adam from their backs, their progeny; and He made them witness over themselves: "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we bear witness." Thus you cannot say on the day of Resurrection that you were unaware of this. 7:173 Nor can you say, "It was our fathers who set up partners before and we were simply a progeny who came after them. Would You destroy us for what the innovators did?" Our program is in the direction of faith to truth, and goodness. 30:30 So establish yourself to the system of monotheism. It is the nature that God has made the people on. There is no changing in God's creation. Such is the pure system, but most people do not know. |

Well, we're left with my question: What are these important Islamic inventions of the past 750 years that I should be aware of?
As for my original statement, it's perfectly correct. Islam put a stop on technological progress. Now you assumed I meant Islam put a stop on technological progress from day one, but I didn't say that and hence I didn't mean it. So, back to the question: What are these important Islamic inventions of the past 750 years that I should be aware of? |

Your claim that Islam put "a stop" to "technical progress" is sheer, unfettered nonsense (the suggestion that the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula in 600 AD were progressive, leaned and experiencing technological progress is ludicrous for example), in fact I have already demonstrated the exact opposite is true.
Listen, if you want to support any of your claims at any time, that would be something. So do it. The 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015 was awarded jointly to Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar "for mechanistic studies of DNA repair". That recent enough for you? |

The exact opposite of something I didn't say? I said the people of that region were relatively speaking "quite progressive and learned", not "progressive, leaned and experiencing technological progress."
You want me to support my claim that Islamic countries have produced no important inventions in the past 750 years? How would you suggest I do that? So your evidence that the Muslim word has indeed produced important inventions in the past 750 years is that a team of three people, including one Turkish Muslim, won a prize in 2015. OK, would you like me to comment on that right now or is there anything you would like to add? |

That's a good point, but it's an even weaker argument than that.
The "days" mentioned were not, of course, the ages of the universe and the earth but rather the claimed time taken to create them. So even if it had taken 6 days to create the universe and then 2 days to make the earth, the universe would be 8 days old when the earth was completed, making the universe 4 times as old as the earth. |

Seeing zero links to support this claim:
"To be fair they are **** holes now, but back then they were actually quite progressive and learned. Islam put a stop to all that" we are absolutely done with that (although the Trumpesque racism of "they are **** holes now" was clearly a glaring tip off that everything in that post was a *********** train wreck from the get go) |
