Up until the year 1100, Islamic Scholars preserved and enhanced science, most of which had been formulated by the Greek and Roman Empires. During that period, Islam embraced a very open and Platonic philosophy or technological progress. After that point, they adopted a far more close-minded view towards science. The Christian world had the reverse, losing many of these ancient sources of philosophy, maths, sciences, literature, and history. During the Middle Ages, Christians were closed off to these "Non-Christian ideas" believing them to be demonic. During the Renaissance, European culture finally accepted the central validity of science and, by using Islamic advances, were able to pioneer modern technologies.
