Cavemen never had guns or lighters yet they still caught their food and cooked it.

your point is?

[Dave]

I was pointing the fact out that When you SAY its a FACT how do you prove it!

I can ask you the same question.

Then again, this topic is not here for the discussion of history and what is fact or fiction.

My point is, this argument is pointless, I am rather sure there's plenty information online about the origins of Algebra for you to read over.

[Dave]

An excellent mature and educated response to a valid point, or can you not back up your own points through a proper sentence?

Correct, as this is a conflict of belief which will not end any time soon. It's very much like Catholicism and Protestantism debates...

[Arslan]

dude..

the Babylonians are a bloody ancient civilisation who didn't even have paper. they could have used some *sort* of Algebra methods meaning some ways of solving problems. but what you use today was all invented and developed by the Arabs. the word Algebra was created by the arabs. and its a Arabian word.
just to let you know A fact is something which is proven. All this history is recorded and written.

also i see you posted a link of the BBC. you should check this out too.

i already have...you listen to the BBC, you should listen to this too. I could get you millions of sources or even write a essay but why should i bother with a guy who has no idea.

My own beliefs and thoughts conflict with your own, therefore you immediately dismiss the fact that I know anything at all. How very narrow minded. I do indeed read and listen to the BBC, but I also listen/read many other sources of news too.
As for other people's beliefs, I can deal with those, accept that someone believes something different from me, but when that person instantly dismissed any points that I make for their own singular source of information I do see it as being quite..arrogant...actually, ignorant could be the word I am looking for.

But coming to think about it, ignorance is bliss within the world today. We dismiss things we do not believe, absorb corporate media like a sponge and are spoon fed our information from closely monitored and censored companies...

Very much like the current situation, we are fed here in the west to believe Islam is full of suicide bombing pricks that want to blow themselves up in a holy war against the evil western cultures...but then again we are invading their countries and trying to force our laws and policies upon them, making them very much like ourselves and changing hundreds and thousands of years of lifestyle and history with a few men with guns.

narrow minded...? lol? and arrogant ..I mean if we are talking on the bases of facts....
There is nothing about different belief here, its about you accepting which the majority of the science and maths world accept today.

I am to follow the majority and believe one single fact/way is the only way.
Sounds very much like Religion. I am to follow a holy deity ,who I have not seen with my own eyes or have heard with my own ears, seamlessly and without question.

I am literally speech less. I have nothing more to say to you.

As the personal and individual level I do not like people touching other individuals in what they like, what they regard  as sacred ,find a weak spot and drill, drill and torture someone ... Same thing goes when someone is doing a nation, or religion.
 This is a deliberate provocation of the enemies of all that is good in the world.

It's life, it's what happens; people disagree, mess around, insult and joke about something that is important to someone in the world. People just have to get their heads down, ignore it and not rise to the level of the aggressor.
In this case though, people need to learn how to take a joke.

when you say joke, do you mean the movie which was made was a joke?

Yep. I am. Shoot me.
