| rocketpig said: A - The Spanish Inquisition says "hi". - Religion controlled science during most of the Medieval period. Not surprisingly, it's one of the most dormant scientific times in human history, despite the fact that wars were abundant and everyone was in a battle of one sort or another. It wasn't until the Renaissance when the Catholic Church first starting seeing its stranglehold on the public loosen that we saw the emergence of true science. - Did you seriously reference a video game as historical fact? |
Can a game add in historical facts ? Yes it can.
Also I notice you said "True science". When it can to science even Spain ignore the Pope. Kind of like trying to stop people from pirating PC games as science offered too much to turn away from it.
Also one of the greatest invention of all time came about during this period which open the doors to a whole new world; The printing press. Even in Medieval times there were great leaps in knowledge as now finally man had an invention to make print easier and faster then ever before. Knowledge started to increase greatly after the printing press just as the internet/ cable/satellies open up new doors of information today. To say they didn't have "true science " when comparing to ours is like saying they didn't have "true weapons"(guns) when compared to ours.
