In western Europe, they were debating the existence of Platonic universals. In Eastern Europe they were debating the distinction between created (matter) and uncreated (energy).
Hah - look at the other responses. Let me get this straight - Muslims take Palestine, North Africa, Asia Minor, Spain, and then cross over into southern France, and the Christians were plotting to 'take them over'? Good God.
Why is that every socialist state always begins by replacing history with ideology? Those damn, dirty Christians!
Has anybody here studied theology? They weren't debating evolution vs. creation, atheism vs. theism, the date of Christ's return, or the nature of the Trinity. They were debating Universals - always universals. That was the central debate in the Church from the 11th century until the rise of Nominalism. That was the debate between Protestants and Catholics - not salvation by works (they reached an agreement on that within the first generation of the Reformation).

No. Muslims are some distance more effective technologically and educationally stepped forward than Christians were 500 years in the past. in the course of the middle a lengthy time period, very few Christians might want to even study or write. in the interim, the Islams invented Algebra, were evidence against lots of Europe's ailments, and skim and wrote poetry each of the time. The Christian's darkish a lengthy time period were the Islam's Golden a lengthy time period. the in common words concern they have in problem-free is that Muslims today are in basic terms about as radical as Christians were 500 years in the past. human beings have a tendency to ignore the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition. it truly is non secular extremism 5 cases higher than today's Muslims.

They were probably debating weather they should execute Martin Luther or not therefor ending the whole Protestant movement. OK so I am off by a few years but close to 500 years ago.

The same evil we're debating today, with a slightly different twist. Think it not strange this theory which Atheists and others proclaim today, it has been around forever.
