O. K. Stick to your belief that the Muslim world completely denounced scientific theories including the theory of evolution. But many people may smell communal bias in your statement.

You said: "One can simultaneously be strong believers in both science and religion."
You cannot selectively believe in science. That's a total nonsense. When someone disbelief science because it contradicts religious belief, he/she is only pretending to believe in science.

I did not understand why you used the strong words 'completely denounced', although, I am sure, you yourself do not believe. Muslims and Muslim majority countries have not completely denounced science. The theory of evolution and other topics in science are taught in Muslim majority countries.One can simultaneously be strong believers in both science and religion. This is true for all religious communities. As you know many people in America do not believe in the theory of evolution. They do it despite having great respect for science. Reason and faith, looks like, are nurtured by two distinct mental faculties. Obviously there are overlaps and sometimes there can be dangerous clashes. The latter can happen if 'church' is not separated from 'state'.

Historically, religion has always been in the way of advancement of knowledge. Think about earlier European society, dominated by Christian clergies, where scientists had been mercilessly tortured, imprisoned, and killed because of espousing knowledge contradicting the established religious beliefs. On that backdrop, look at the European society today. What do you see? How did European society liberated itself from the clergy domination? How did that society go to where it is today? Don't you think – Muslim society could have been there today, had they been able to overcome clergy domination and make use of the knowledge of the 14th century Muslim visionaries?
You should know, a few scientists here and there are not the norm; they are just exceptions. Even many of those scientists are ultra-religious themselves, and can not set their mind free from the religious bondage. Consequently, some of them are trying to color scientific knowledge with religious flavors. That's the irony of the Muslim world, in my view.

1. Mr. Deeldar's comment is not clear to me and as such I refrain from saying any thing on it.2. I don't understand why Dr. Jiten Roy thinks that the Muslim world 'completely' 'denounced' the knowledge of the 14th century. Muslims don't learn science! There are no scientists among them!

Muslim world completely denounced those knowledge of the 14 century, and failed to utilize the knowledge to advance. They have done the same under British rule, while Hindus embraced it whole heartedly.
Why is that? It's because - Muslims have ultra-fascination for their religion. No society can advance with such fascination for religion; the goal of the religion is to block mental maturity, not advancement. Islam, even though, ask followers to go to china to acquire knowledge, but when someone does that, he/she gains knowledge that contradict the religious text. So, those knowledge get rejected right away by the greater Muslim community, and he/she becomes apostate.
That's the reason why 14th century knowledge gained remained untapped by the Mulsim community, but embraced by the non-Muslim communities, especially by the European communities and moved forward.

During the 14th century, Ibn Khaldun wrote in his book 'Al Muqaddimah' (The Introduction):QuoteThis world with all the created things in it has a certain order and solid construction. It shows nexuses between causes and things caused, combinations of some parts of creation with others, and transformations of some existent things into others, in a pattern that is both remarkable and endless. [...]
One should then take a look at the world of creation. It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs and seedless plants. The last stage of plants, such as palms and vines, is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which have only the power of touch. The word 'connection' with regard to these created things means that the last stage of each group is fully prepared to become the fist stage of the newest group.
The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and preception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man. This is as far as our (physical) observation extends. [pp 74-75]

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2015 New Year's resolution was to read an important book every two weeks and discuss it with the Facebook community.Zuckerberg's book club, A Year of Books, has focused on big ideas that influence society and business. His selections so far have been mostly contemporary, but for his 11th pick he's chosen "The Muqaddimah," written in 1377 by the Islamic historian Ibn Khaldun."The Muqaddimah," which translates to "The Introduction," is an early attempt to strip away biases of historical records and find universal elements in the progression of humanity.Khaldun's revolutionary scientific approach to history has established him as one of the foundational thinkers of modern sociology and historiography.The influential 20th-century British historian Arnold J. Toynbee described "The Muqaddimah" as "a philosophy of history, which is undoubtedly the greatest work of its kind that has ever yet been created by any mind in any time or place," according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.Zuckerberg explains his latest book-club pick on his personal Facebook page:It's a history of the world written by an intellectual who lived in the 1300s. It focuses on how society and culture flow, including the creation of cities, politics, commerce and science.While much of what was believed then is now disproven after 700 more years of progress, it's still very interesting to see what was understood at this time and the overall worldview when it's all considered together.Most of Zuckerberg's book club selections have explored issues through a sociological lens, so it makes sense he is now reading a book that helped create the field.
