>>62263300In terms of politics and economics, I do agree with you, especially in politics, it was a retrocess. Can't say much about economics because it's not exactly my area of expertise. Talking science? It's a myth, because "science" wasn't really a thing back then, and it was because of the church that the term came to be, and when you dig deep into the source, you'll realize that most of it were advancements.
There was another reasons why the medieval times were such shitty times to be alive, like the plague.
>>62263303Yeah, it was dreary indeed, you can feel it when you walk into buildings from these times.
But the inquisition didn't go around killing scientists as wizards, most of them died out of pride, like Galileo.
There was one man who was killed for implying the existence of the cosmos, but he didn't refuse the existence of god. He simply said that god didn't create just earth, and every star in the universe is god's creation, and everything may not be only about earth. Still, he died out of pride, because he refused to acknowledge the importance of earth, and the church gave him one or two decades to take back what he said before burning him alive. He died, but didn't lose his faith on god, in fact, it was his belief in the absolute greatness of god that got him killed.
