Reminding me of an article some years ago that so little scientific books originate in Islamic states. Islamic theology seems unconcerned about a natural order of things, if it accepts the idea at all.

People will point to the first 500 years of Islam as a "golden age" full of scientific and cultural advances in the Muslim world. A closer look reveals most of the advances of this golden age were the achievements of the peoples the Muslims had conquered. Once those civilizations died out and Islam had completely taken over the "golden age" ended.
