    I have thought for a long time, that "Dark Ages" refers more to our knowledge, than to any actual depravity, spiritual darkness, or actual lack of knowledge existing in the centuries c. 600 to 1100 AD.

    I think a better title would be as Oman (relatively long ago) seemed to feel it: "Middle-ages", early, high, and late. Just forget "dark Ages" altogether.
