You make a broad statement, checking out.
Dark ages in culture, spirituality, what do you mean?
Even the Middle Ages, known as Dark, do not look homogeneously bleak if one looks close enough. Many people survived those times and those are our ancestors for some of us.

If the read the generational cycle book "Fourth Turning" by Strauss & Howe, you will see that there is a chance that the current (future when they wrote it in 98) crisis era could turn so bad that we go way backwards as a world.
The atomic end of the world, the epidemic and now the financial one.
All forms eventually disolve. But this one might just last a little longer.
I take it back, you meant just dimming the lights not turning them completely off.
Ok, good night now.

Stone Age Government

When politicians tow the party line, and do whatever is necessary to please the party, or the church, and ignore the best course for his or her constituents and the country, they break the people’s trust and are not worthy of the office. Some politicians make such egregious comments, vote drastically different than the average citizen based on their own religious beliefs, that exposing their radical ideology is imperative, and a civic duty.
In terms of religion and its dogmatic moral orthodoxy, we have never left the Dark Ages.
From this perspective I think that there are more Americas coexisting at this time. This is the paradox of this country. Leading and lighting the way in some areas and the laughing stock of the world on matters like in the 21st century still debating the evolution.
The Social and Legal Dimensions of the Evolution Debate in the U.S.
Clarence Darrow, left, and William Jennings Bryan talk in the
courtroom during the Scopes evolution trial.
Feb. 4, 2009
As with many social and political controversies in the United States, the battle over evolution has been largely fought in courtrooms. This has been particularly true in the last 50 years, as courts have been repeatedly asked to rule on efforts to restrict or change the way public schools teach about evolution and life's origins.
I wonder if this has anything to do with our education system and media obsessed popular culture.
