It is true that the revelation of The Holy Quran started in Laila tul Qadr, and that this was the greatest truth realised by humanity but Islam is a way of life and does not just consist of religious rituals.
So the moment that Galileo realised that the Earth was not the centre of the Universe was better than the centuries of ignorance and darkness that preceded it, so this applies to all fields of life not just religion.
This is an alternative interpretation of Chapter 97 of The Holy Quran, that says one moment of understanding the truth is better than a life time of ignorance.
