What Europe gave to the world?

@butterflymind1 … apart from religion. European thinking has rarely been terrorized by religious crackpots. Which is why we have developed quantum mechanics while others stuck with "reincarnation" and karma nonsense.

@helenS Ummm, Europeans believe in karma, reincarnation, spirits, ghosts, and other assorted hocus pocus just like other cultures.

@quitwhendone Individual Europeans, yes.
But it's never been an essential part of European culture.
I mean come on! "Reincarnation"!
You'd been burned as a heretic, in ye olde Europe. 😁

@helenS Reincarnation is believed all over the western world. I am not saying it is the norm for Westerners but there are millions and millions in the US who believe it and it's believed all over the Western world. Tarot cards, spirits, devils, satan, angels, ghosts, poltergeists karma, etc. Supernatural beliefs are all around us in the people we live among.
