Hello ....u better dont discuss abt history with me... i know much more than u...i can say this after seeing ur posts here (all of them).
-Yes i laughed...dere...u know y? b'coz...all religions run on beleifs...i hope u agree to this (wat u said earlier there shows that u agree to this philosophy). Now having said this....as far as beleifs r concerned...undoubtedly hinduism (not actually hinduism....but its father 'sanaatan dharma', hinduism i said to make u understand, as u have quiet much lesser knowledge) is the oldest religion of this planet 'earth' atleast.....i dont know abt ne other planet.
-Abt ur point of islamic science n mathematics n their proofs:
I have not seen those....but i agree u r right....giving u a benefit of doubt.
But then if u r comparing other religions with islam on these grounds....
dear go n read other religions scriptures n books as well.....then say.
"In India, mathematics has its roots in Vedic literature which is nearly 4000 years old. Between 1000 B.C. and 1000 A.D. various treatises on mathematics were authored by Indian mathematicians in which were set forth for the first time, the concept of zero, the techniques of algebra and algorithm, square root and cube root.
A method of graduated calculation was documented in the Pancha-Siddhantika (Five Principles) in the 5th Century. But the technique is said to be dating from Vedic times circa 2000 B.C.

The rudiments of Geometry called Rekha-Ganita in ancient India - were formulated and applied in the drafting of Mandalas for architectural purposes.
In ancient India conventional mathematics termed Ganitam was known before the development of algebra. This is borne out by the name - Bijaganitam, which was given to the algebraic form of computation.
Bijaganitam means the other mathematics (Bija means 'another' or 'second' and Ganitam means mathematics).
The fact that this name was chosen for this system of computation implies that it was recognized as a parallel system of computation, different from the conventional one which was used since the past and was till then the only one. "
On this topic..i can take a class of urs.....trust me..n i dont need ne other site to prove this (unlike u).n it will take much of my energy n our time.
