The circumstances under which the Church of England was founded during the English Reformation was much more complicated than and not as related to Henry VIII seeking divorce as people claim.
European Settlers bought Manhattan NY for beads from the Indians.Christopher Columbus Discovered America.There is a good book called "Lies my Teacher told me", though it is USA Centric, It is still a good book.

#2 Dark Ages refers to a period of ignorance and superstition in Medieval Europe. It actually refers to a lack of written sources during that time period.
Exactly - Lack of written sources === The Dark Ages.

#2 There are plenty written sources between the fall of Roman society and the European Renaissance. The actual reference about the Dark Ages is too show contempt to the Christian writing and culture during this time. "We have been enlightened by Dark Ages of Christianity." Essentially a piece of propaganda.
#3 Study of Ur and other cities in modern Iraq point to a very different interpretation, that until they were able to store grains and cereals, civilization could not happen. People were too concerned about scrounging for food to put energy into building a society or government or religion or anything else.
Actually, a lot of what is posted here by whoever this is, is false, misrepresents, or needs further context. No citations other than "Trust me, I'm the internet". Drivel.

Jenny,
Until humans were able to use fire for themselves they used almost all of their energy by looking for and consuming food.
Is also a theory, like a lot of other 'findings'.

All religion keeps people in the "Dark Ages." Especially, Islam.

A little thing to remember, a lack of evidence does not mean that something is either false or true...all it means is that it's currently inconclusive.

Thought it was interesting until "everything in the Bible." Then I questioned the validity of the rest of the claims printed here.
