        You know, back in time before the dark ages, Christianity was very scientific. Science was a tool that god gave to humans to understand the world they live in.

        And now it’s scawwy

          Yes, monks are authors of scientific works, but as said, only if it not denies the Dogma (if they don’t wanted to burn) , also not accessible by the people and only for the elites, apart it wasn’t really science how we understand it now, it was more a process to adapt theories to fit the Dogma. But they invent also very nice things, eg. in the middle age, a number system to write numbers fro 1 to 9999 in one sign by Cistercian monks.

            This is brilliant! Now finish it by making 100000 a “knot” by making it like 99999 but fill in the missing side bars. Then start a new hundred thousand knot by using a hyphen. So 100001 would be [knot]-[1]

            Now we just need to get rid of computers, typewriters and technology so this can be rightly appreciated.
