"Thats not true. They only preserved a very small number of pagan texts such as the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Platos writings etc. Any literature or science teaching which contradicted Christianity was banned and destroyed."
Reread my post. EVERY dominant culture preserves what it wishes. I noted that I was thankful for what it did preserve and mentioned that most cultures would have preserved something. Far more than what you suggest was preserved. As for your contention that anything which contradicted christianity was banned, that is patently untrue as is demonstrable in Plautus, Terence, Petronius, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, and so forth.
