From memory, the church of the time spent an insane amount of money and time pursuing science, funding expeditions, and doing who knows what else. So i find it hard to believe that Christianity was responsible for the dark age of science, sounds like another kike lie to hide the filthy parasites up to their usual tricks

It was empire and had same flaws as any other. Look at US, it had greatest scientific minds some time ago but now if you don't trust science then you are racist. Holy roman empire was probably same. Propaganda, repressions, proxy wars.

People don't change.

"Christianity caused the dark ages" is already considered a myth in mainstream academia. Popular atheists and pop culture haven't realized that, though.

(((atheism)))

There's why. Because the culprit for the dark ages is jewish, is banking.

Parentheses my ass. Next time you get a cold, don't take anything for it. Demons cause sickness, not germs. Keep following the doctrine of the goy slave. I grew up in rural Mississippi and still realized religion is a bullshit tool for control of the weak. I didn't have a phone glued to my hand or internet at home either.

Hammers aren't inherently bad because they can be used to beat people to death.

Most religions spring up from a people trying to understand the world around them. That's why there are so many different religions in different parts of the world that all try to explain the same things in different ways. Hell the Romans even had a deity that was in charge of boots.

Islam and the constant invasions and war caused the dark ages

From what i've read, it was the Muslims who actually preserved much of pagan Europe. Saved writings from destruction by Christian zealots.

They stole knowledge from they places they conquered and destroyed anything that wasn't in the koran.

Dr Bill Warner is really good at explaining it:

What did muslims save exactly? Just curious, first time I've heard of this.

It's not true. In fact, it's acknowledged it really wasn't a dark age at all. Much progress developed during this period. But disease and war distracted from much of it.

Basically both the "dark ages" and "Christianity caused it" are now accepted as myths. Would be interested to determine which group created and pushed this mythos.

The Church guided scientific progress and preserved the learning of Greece and Rome and continuted their studies. St. Isidore of Seville, for example, has been largely ignored in the English speaking world despite convincing the barbarian tribes to preserve Roman libraries and even developing a precursor to the database in order to catalogue that learning. St. Isidore also solidified a version of classical education based on the Trivium. Add to the list guys like St. Albert the Great and dozens like him, and there certainly were advances made after the fall of Rome, but it is almost always catastrophic when an empire that size collapses.

The "Dark Ages" was generally used by post-"Enlightenment" thinkers to denigrate the Church, and is generally a myth. The people of the Middle Ages were not consumed by Scientism as we are today, and were almost definitely happier in their day to day existence than we are with all of our so-called advances, but the Renaissance would never have happened without the Middle Ages.

Personally, I would be happy to trade in everything invented after the Industrial era to return to an existence where your town or village was your family in a high trust society.

It was called the “dark age” because we have very few primary sources from the time. It started with the collapse of the Western Romans and officially ended at the start of the Middle Ages, between 300-500 years depending on who you ask.

During this time a lot was lost, anything that required a large amount of logistics or specialised skills was basically impossible to do due to the breakdown of any bureaucracy or central planning. Some advances were made in this time but they were small and localised without any way of dispersing them.

During the dark ages most people were illiterate and for at least the first part of it were more preoccupied with eating and safety than technological improvements

Exactly. It's not the dark age because nothing positive happened during it, there are just few historical records compared to other times in history.

The mini ice age caused the dark age. Evil people exploited the circumstances.

There is no scientific dark-age to compare with Marxism. There is no scientific dark age to compare with cultural Marxism. Stalin imprisoned people for research, under the cultural revolution in Maoist China college students beat professors to death on stage for having reactionary anti-revolutionary scientific thoughts. The Catholic church had an intelligencia of powerful men every bit as bent as the Marxist, it's not a feature of Christianity, it's a feature of power.

Dark Ages were coined like that because it is a period with very few written records in comparison to what came before and after. It is common to have few registries in times where the whole world had its biggest empire being dissolved from the inside and leaving room for hundreds of independent kingdoms and chieftainships slowly morphing into the Middle Ages' territories.

No you stupid kike. Stop pushing the jew-forced myth. Judaism, banking; caused it.

Don't forget that even in the 17th century, Galileo had to change his scientific discovery, if he didn't want to be burned at the stake. So, the church is definitely responsible for the dark ages.
