Original Note:
The "Christian Dark Ages" is mythic idea developed by Draper's "History of the Conflict between Religion and Science" (1874) and White's "History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" (1896). It has long been discredited by historians of science. https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2018/10/history-of-science-and-the-conflict-thesis.html https://going-medieval.com/2017/05/26/theres-no-such-thing-as-the-dark-ages-but-ok/ https://twitter.com/TimONeill007/status/1752423531714089469
