What did we learn from the new Cosmos show? Well, we unintentionally have learned that modern social politics is killing science. Kind of ironic that everything tyson accused Christian religion of doing to stifle science is in fact what liberals are now doing. In many ways religion was the framework upon which science thrived and brought us out of the dark ages.
Good book.
I knew there was something wrong with this thinking.
After all, everyone calls it the “Dark Ages” - yet to what are we comparing that Europe? Rome? OK, sort of. Comparing Europe to Europe, however, it was a huge improvement. Europe got out of savage primitive life thanks to Rome and Christianity.
These people could not have been total ninkompoops to design and build huge lovely cathedrals (ironically). No, it was not the “dark ages”. And thus, Christianity was not a problem.
