I wouldn't think Arabs we be as united as they were segregated by Europeans before finding faith. Therefore I don't think Chemistry (Al-Chemy in Arabic) or Algebra (Al-Gebra in Arabic) wouldn't be as advanced or exist at all. Or even the Alphabet (Al-Phabet in Arabic) wouldn't exist. Perhaps we could have found another way, just I don't think we would be advanced.
