Why exactly? Roger Bacon was dead keen on secular knowledge (as a good Franciscan he thought it would benefit the poor) and the Middle Eastern city states had considerable technical accomplishments. It was largely the authors of Genesis who thought progress was bad. And their descendants have a remarkable number of Nobels in science and medicine, suggesting a serious level of disagreement.
