One of the most interesting histories of what comes of rejecting science we may see in Islam, which in the beginning received, accepted, and even developed the classical legacy. For some five or six rich centuries there is an impressive Islamic record of scientific thought, experiment, and research, particularly in medicine.

Because these aren't everyday spaces, they contain all sorts of drama for that once-in-a-while 'wow' event. — Candice Olson
