You are the most brainless, unintelligent poster I've run across in a while.

For your simplistic mind, the question is not what happened but what would have happened without scientific growth and discovery. It is demonstrably provable that economic conditions, scientific discoveries, and even medical science advanced from 600 to 1300 A.D. Moreover, these advances took place in Europe FASTER than anywhere else in the world (Lateen sails, eyeglasses, clock technology, cannon development). Now if you're going to be so dense as to argue this, at least TRY to inform yourself first by consulting some of the sources I gave you. Here are more: Joel Mokyr, "The Lever of Riches," or Pernoud, "Those Terrible Dark Ages: Debunking the Myths," or Peter Wells, "Barbarians to Angels."

This is global warmism you are peddling. Please stop.

One of us says the Dark ages were made up. One does not.

Not hard to determine who is brainless here.

Have you read this?

Tuxedo Park "The untold story of an eccentric Wall Street tycoon and the circle of scientific geniuses he assembled before World War II to develop the science for radar and the atomic bomb. Together they changed the course of history.

Legendary financier, philanthropist, and society figure Alfred Lee Loomis gathered the most visionary scientific minds of the twentieth century—Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, and others—at his state-of-the-art laboratory in Tuxedo Park, New York, in the late 1930s. He established a top-secret defense laboratory at MIT and personally bankrolled pioneering research into new, high-powered radar detection systems that helped defeat the German Air Force and U-boats. With Ernest Lawrence, the Nobel Prize–winning physicist, he pushed Franklin Delano Roosevelt to fund research in nuclear fission, which led to the development of the atomic bomb..."

Wait a second. I just reread my original post that set you off.

I am not talking about global warming/overpop being something we can do nothing about. I am talking about liberal idiots being in command and not enough of us left to change that.
