| whatever said: It not even that scientific progress was slowed or stopped during medieval times. Its that we went backwards hundreds of years. The Greeks and Romans were far more advanced civilizations than anything up until the Renaissance. We lost alot of knowledge during this time period. Religion played a central role in this process. |
My point exactly. It's not a coincidence that during the period when religion held more sway over people than any other time in the past 2,500 years, scientific progress didn't only stop but it actually went in reverse for several hundred years.
