You said that you did not want to debate. I read all your post, and reply long ago explains what I am not convinced, and why I think it departs from the sort of truth consistent with my working assumption. I think we have agreed on where we disagree, but I am open to discuss this further. But your post seems to reflect more Al Ghazali than Averroes (Ibn Rushd). If I am wrong on this, please correct me. To sum up the difference, the difference is in between submitting text to reason (and thus comparison), Avrroès, instead of submitting Reason to Text (Al Ghazali, which leads to literalism, which leads to conflicts). Islam has open itself to Platonism for a long period, leading them to the science, which eventually will lead to to the Renaissance, but the motor of science has been destroyed in the Middle-East , in 1248, by the apparition and enforcement of the literal interpretation of the texts, leading to notions of heresies, exactly like the Christians did in 529, and still used by influent trends today.
