Bible is the infallible word of God! Proof!

[Thumpalumpacus]

Actually it has been a cocktails of reasons that led to the downfall of civilization. The Western part of the Roman empire was overrun by uneducated savages. Combine that with the mental savagery of christianity and you have perfect recipe for stupidness.

It shows best when you look at the city of Rome. It had one million inhabitants at it's height, but around the year 1000 only about 20.000 were left. The reason for this fundamental downfall, these stupid fucks weren't even able or willing to maintain the aqueducts. Add to this the church claiming to have the monopoly on education and you get a world of ignorance, since they didn't educate the people at all and hardly anyone could even write their own name until the dawn of the Rennaissance. Medicine didn't evolve beyond Galen all through the Middle Ages since the church forbid autopsies and anatomic studies.

Historians refer to the time between 400CE and 1000CE -- when religion ruled almost every aspect of life in Western Europe -- as The Dark Ages.

Coincidence? I think not.

How is it that people who claim to be so smart act like stupidity is their norm?

Could be that they had to nearly destroy them to bring them under their control, the one peoples that gave them the most problems.

Could it be that you never actually checked Roman history? I wouldn't consider an utter defeat of an insurgency a most problem case. For the Romans, I guess, the insurrection of Arminius in 9 AD was the bigger problem, since it cost them three legions with nothing to show for.

Oh, you! Waving around those facts like they mean something.
