36042Y321 Biologists Invent The Contraceptive Pill

Q
AND
THE POPE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!
Computer scientists develop the Internet - and rabbis argue
whether Orthodox Jews should be allowed to surf it? Feminist thinkers
call upon women to take possession of their bodies - and learned muftis debate
how to confront such incendiary ideas. So we ask ourselves: what was the most influential
discovery, invention or creation of the 20th century?! Thàt's a difficult question, because it is
hard to choose from such a long list of candidates, including scientific discoveries such as antibiotics,
technological inventions such as computers, and ideological creations such as feminism! Now ask yourself:
what was the most influential discovery, invention or creation of traditional religions such as for instance Islam
and Christianity in the 20th century? This too is a very difficult question, because there is so little to choose from!
What did priests, rabbis and muftis discover in the 20th century that can be mentioned in the same breath as
antibiotics, computers or feminism? Having mulled over these questions, from where do you think the big
changes of the 21st century will emerge: from the Islamic State, or Google? Yes, the Islamic State
knows how to put videos on YouTube; but leaving aside the industry of torture, what new
inventions have emerged form Syria or Iraq lately? Billions of people, including many
scientists, continue to use religious scriptures as a source of authority,
but these texts are no longer a source of creativity.
Think, for example, about the acceptance
of gay marriage or female clergy by the
more progressive branches of
Christianity! Where did
this acceptance
originate?
