Attack of the Theocrats!
I've seen these claims before about how the Koran or Islam invented/encouraged science but I've never seen any solid quotes from the Koran or other sources to back them up. Not saying they are false but I would like to see some justification.
Also, regarding Einstein I don't see how someone living before Newton could have discovered or introduced his ideas. You can't really understand Einstein IMO without first understanding (at a minimum) Newton. Who in particular in Islam do you claim got there before Einstein and why?
