Finally, the idea that the Middle Ages were stagnant in any way shows a fundamental lack of understanding of history in general. Read a book.
Gosh - that got a reaction!
I think it's safe to say that Middle Ages were stagnant IN SOME WAYS, if we compare them to any other period of recorded history. It's not like the period 900-1000 compares to 1900-2000. Isn't that where the term Renaissance comes from?
