>Thus science was born in the ancient world of the classical Greeks

This is all nonsense.
"Science" -- organized thinking,
rigorous thinking --

was born where ever
sailing cultures exchanged goods
with diverse cultures.

China, India
and even Polynesia
(to name just a few)

achieved amazing
things. Focusing on the Greeks
is just a structure

academia
has settled on to present
a view of history

that's "cleaned up," without
loose-ends and turns its focus
to "workable" myths.

My favorite example is of the Dutch in the 1600's. Not only did it advance science, but also gave birth to democratic thought.

It's not all of history...it's just Western history.
