The cause of this "Dark Age" was the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the waves of invasions and raiding that followed it. Without the larger economy and administrative infrastructure of the Empire to sustain them, trade systems, large public works and educational systems all collapsed, contracted into local versions or died out in western Europe. And waves of invasions by various Germanic peoples, Avars, Moors, Magyars and Vikings made mere survival a higher priority than things like preserving books or maintaining road systems.

The idea that Christianity caused or significantly contributed to the fall of the Western Empire has long since been rejected by modern historians. It clearly wasn't a significant factor, since while the Western Empire collapsed, the equally (or even more) Christian Eastern Empire continued for another 1000 years without collapsing and without any "Dark Age". For a breakdown of why the Western Empire fell when the Eastern Empire didn't, see Tim O'Neill's answer to Why did the Roman Empire fall?

As much as it suits the agenda of some clumsy anti-Christian zealots to claim that Christianity caused the "Dark Ages" it's an attack based on a weak grasp of history. Far from being its cause, Christianity was the only institution that preserved the basics of learning in this period and enshrined philosophy and the study of logic and a deep respect for all learning, including pagan learning, in its curriculum. As a result, when Europe emerged from the early medieval centuries of chaos and invasion, it was learned churchmen who sought out lost books by Aristotle, Plato, Archimedes and Ptolemy and kick-started a revival of learning and inquiry that would lead to the scientific method and the rise of the West. Smart non-believers avoid flawed historical analysis driven by emotion rather than rational and objective analysis of the evidence.

Ah I see

2018-06-04 14:11:27 UTC
