    That's true and when there can't be complete certainty, we can at least gauge the probabilities of certain theories.

    Why do you think it appealed primarily to White European nations?

    Please note that there has been in history a large number of scientists and great thinkers who were also Christian mystics at the same time (Blaise Pascal or Isaac Newton, just to name two of them). Many Christian priests were also great physicists and mathematicians.

    You will never find anything similar among Jewish rabbis or Muslim imams.

    That's a good point. Christianity did provide a good framework for the launching of modern scientific thought, didn't it?

    And some priests were atheists, actually.

    What about Avicenna? He was not imam, true, however was also "muslim thinker", I'd say. I would also mention Rumi here.

    Ethnic emotionalism is not logical. Saying " because he started it" is not logical, either. The topic of logical religions would of course preclude ones where implicit faith in things that defy the natural order is demanded and the threat " or else" is employed as a weapon against those who honestly dissent. Implying that whites equate to racism is itself a racist statement and unnecessary.
