Science and technology in Israel

Post by Gman »

Interesting that the Israelis (The people of the Bible), in less than 65 years has literally outproduced all the other nations when it comes to total number of scientific articles, technological inquiry, and the amount spent on research and development.

Science and technology in Israel is one of the country's most developed sectors. The percentage of Israelis engaged in scientific and technological inquiry, and the amount spent on research and development (R&D) in relation to gross domestic product (GDP), is amongst the highest in the world. Israel ranks fourth in the world in scientific activity as measured by the number of scientific publications per million citizens. Israel's percentage of the total number of scientific articles published worldwide is almost 10 times higher than its percentage of the world's population.

Israeli scientists have contributed to the advancement of agriculture, computer sciences, electronics, genetics, medicine, optics, solar energy and various fields of engineering. Israel is home to major players in the high-tech industry and has one of the world's most technologically-literate populations. In 1998, Tel Aviv was named by Newsweek as one of the ten most technologically influential cities in the world. Since 2000, Israel has been a member of EUREKA, the pan-European research and development funding and coordination organization, and holds the rotating chairmanship of the organization for 2010-2011.

But if they already know that God caused everything then what are they researching for? Isn't it only logical that science can stop when you know the ultimate answer? ;)
Sorry G I was just reguritating some garbage that I keep seeing being asserted to see if repetition of stupidity will make one smarter. So far my IQ score is stable and hopefully by getting this out at the begining we won't have to deal with it again later on.
It is nice to see Gods people doing what he told them to do.
It is as if some Christians sit there and wait for the smallest thing that they can dispute and then jump onto it...
The Bible says that we were each given an interpretation – this gift of interpretation is not there so we can run each other into the ground. It is there for our MUTUAL edification.
