** Don't forget the "we'd be living in the Future right now if Christianity never existed." Uh, time out, here... 1. Christianity actually helped PRESERVE lost Roman sciences and arts during the Dark Ages. 2. The biggest cause of the Dark Ages was the burning of the Library of Alexandria by the Muslim caliphate and the destruction of the Roman Empire, both of which set back centralized research and development several centuries.
*** On the other hand, the Muslims preserved a lot of science and advanced scientifically while Europe didn't, and Muslim knowledge came back to Europe during the Crusades, which was what helped lead them out of the Dark Ages.

The primary organizing forceauthority leading Europe out of the semi-anarchy Dark Ages was the aforementioned Holy Roman Empire, just as the primary scholastic forcerevival was indeedcentered around the Catholic monasteries.
