[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;33080755]Nice graph. How did they calculate "scientific advancement"? And nice source for the graph too.
Dumbass.[/QUOTE]
Read the thread.
Religious arguments! Oh boy I sure came here for that!
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;33080319]God you're dumb... it's not the first thing I heard. Have you taken a single world/european history class? You will hear [I]many times[/I] about the dark ages and the renaissance and the enlightenment, and then perhaps you will understand the "message that image has."[/QUOTE]
Again, that covers the historical aspect of the graph, something that I [b]never denied.[/b] What I'm talking about is the hypothetical aspect of it, which is in absolutely no way a fact. Even if there was an absurd amount amount of research into it, it would never be a fact, it'd be, at best, a guess.
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;33056784]It's not difficult to figure out, have you taken a world or european history class? For probably 30,000 years leading up to year 0, humans made very slow scientific progress. It started furthering more and more rapidly with the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Chinese, etc., and you can easily see the sudden droop in scientific advancement with the Christian Dark Ages. Historians around the world all know and agree on this, it's why you learn so much about the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, because we were back on track toward modern science. To deny this is unbelievably ignorant.[/QUOTE]
That's an awfully eurocentric point of view.
