“Protestantism...the ruling culture on earth? Are you serious?”
- The most influential culture on Earth is the Protestant one.
- The two largest economies on Earth, The EU and USA are predominantly Protestant powers
- Most of what truly have decided world matters since, say, the year of 1700 have been the work of Protestant nations.
- Most Nobel Prize winners are the offspring resulting from a Protestant approach to academic tradition and science, not the traditions of arguing over Aristotle or debating over verses found in the Quoran.
Bias of the writer. A classic case. The EU is in no way a protestant power, nor is the United States.
Galileo was a protestant? who knew. I don't think Catholics argued over Aristotle. They based their logic on Categorical syllogisms, a form of argumentation developed by Aristotle. Syllogisms are still widely used, especially in law.
