isn't it interesting that Christians get repeatedly blamed for "muh middle ages!" All the time, which arguably didn't had that much of an impact on scientific advancement,yet muslims get enshrined as "saviors of knowledge!" and "muh golden islamic era!" When they literally destroyed thousands of years of worth of knowledge in the library of Alexandria?
It really makes you think.

Let's just get over with the fact that whichever fedora made this graph is legitimate retarded.
>The Y Axis is completely arbitrary >totally ignores the Christian Byzantine empire >Ignores the High Middle Ages >Ignores all the Christian influence of Rome & Renaissance >it ignores the fact that Greco-Roman literature was preserved by medieval scholars
But this doesn't matter and Christians are muh evil! Amirite?!
Isaiah Phillips
Just people hating Christians. just like those who first hated Jesus
Angel Ramirez
I thought this got debunked ages ago?
Easton Carter
the best part about that graph is lefties admitting that there is no scientific advance without europe, white supremacist lefties
Elijah Green
Christians were the ones to destroy the Library of Alexandria you dumb fuck. Go educate yourself
Luis Edwards
It did but fedoras are retarded
James Jackson
>the chart
That chart is so laughable, it's not even worth debunking. It's obviously made by a 12 y/o 3edgy5life atheist in 2008 or something.
However, keep in mind that the library of Alexandria was virtually non-existent by the time of the rise of Islam.

Advancement implies this is graph of acceleration when given the curve it appears to be a graph of summative knowledge instead. The Y axis should be labelled "Total scientific knowledge"

People is retarded. That pic is retarded. Nothing plebians like more than half truths out of context that make them look like an enlightened outcast for a brief moment, even if the rest of the mouth breathers are belching the same bullshit all over the place for the brief period that it is trending
Anthony Ward
Because the Left are retarded, and so are all their pets. There's no point even trying to argue with them, would you argue with a shit to stop stinking? It can't help itself? All we can do is remove them.
Brody Bell
Nobody even vaguely competent has ever actually suggested either of those things.

the fire at the library of alexandria is debated as to weather it even happened or not. there was a battle which does take place in the city and it was momentarily abandoned by rome but was there a fire?
im not defending muslims but you will have less of a fight on your hands with historians if you simply site the fact you have people raised in environments in which flat earth is taught and accepted in the middle east as part of a argument against islam being productive

even historians shy away from term dark ages, thomas
Samuel Young
Great point user. The Jews have been trying to destroy Christianity long before even the beginnings of Cultural Marxism. Sigmund Freud was promoting (((psychoanalysis))), one of the first Jewish subversions of culture, religion, and family into degeneracy and sexual filth.
The (((Soviet Union))) was explicitly atheist and persecuted Christians and the clergy, desecrating churches while leaving the Synagogues perfectly unharmed. Unsurprisingly antisemitism was a capital offense in the Soviet Union, and (((Trotsky))) was the first ever person to use the term "racist".
In the 70s they started doing the same thing in America, by demonizing Christianity with white guilt tactics like "muh crusades" or communist tactics like "muh religion is distraction from evil whitey oppressing you". Then they started legalizing all forms of degeneracy like miscegenation, homosexuality, abortion, and recently transgenderism.
Anons, don't fall for the Jewish lies about religion or Christianity. It's easy to hate because of the brainwashing you receive in media and education, but remember this. It's okay to be Christian.

yep, really makes me think

If the middle east saved knowledge, why didn't they advance way beyond the Europeans?

>scientific advancement looks like a well defined measure of things, doesn't even need a unit

the "christian" dark ages are just false, we did not lose tech, it just spread wildly to areas it have never been to before as did Christianity. there were plenty of achievements but most scientific achievements are arbitrary to every one.
most of the tech was related to farming, warfare, and political structures as appose to other fields of sciences. most of this was related to the rampant growth of enlightenment during the dark ages into less urban and less advanced places. the dark ages was a period of great expansion, with the high middle ages leading into the resonance being a consolidation of all the gains.
Henry Taylor
Completely agree, it was a long road to accepting Christianity for me, but a careful study of history proves Atheism wrong morally, and even wrong scientifically.
Atheism naturally implies determinism, and determinism implies that Nature is a slave master, therefore Atheism deifies slavery.
And before anyone gets triggered, you have to answer the question of why the only proponents of an Atheist society are Marxists?
(and I don't include ancaps since they don't believe in society)

Muslims destroyed whole civilizations. Not just some already half-forgotten library. The library was already a shadow of its former glory when its fate was finally sealed. The real crime of Muslims was in destroying the knowledge and industry of the formerly Hellenic/Roman cities and states, and, of course, Byzantium itself.
Christian "dark ages" are a joke by the way. There never was such a thing as dark ages. There was power struggle and chaos with the successor states of Rome, but Christianity is what kept all that accumulated knowledge safe in monasteries. Not to talk about the advancements they made in the very same monasteries and universities.
Jordan Rodriguez
Thanks for the dark ages. Ancestor of Japanese emperor unified Japan in the 5th century. If the dark ages didn't exist, we couldn't have samurai and ninja in Japan history.

the Jews want to destroy us and pretend we never existed just like they did with Jesus

During this time period humans did not think that knowledge was unlimited, we believed there was a limit as to what humans could know. No one invested money trying to find new ways of doing things, because they thought they had reached peak human ability. It wasn't until the scientific revolution that this mindset changed and humanity began to strive for better things.
