Pictures of anyone are not going to lighten anything up. All they do is make the page take longer to load, and waste a lot of space.

i agree that the bulk of our technological advances have come about from war or cold war times. even now the technology we have is from "war" between competing companies. what i am refering to by the dark ages is the fact that during that time most science was looked down upon and religion reigned. science was considered sorcery and black magic and the scentists persecuted and killed. if a society could have avoided that problem then they could be more advanced than us and would still be able to handle interaction with us. of course we have the nasty habit of if i cant have it no one can so perhaps the fact that no one has contacted us is best. then again they may be living with us at this time and we would not necessary know it.

edit: i dont care what IF says it was not a waste of time and space (bidi! bidi!). thanks for the picture.

scientists have found evidence of non terran oxygen in our atmosphere.

The instrument ferreted out the tiniest molecules of stellar sand and glass, which carried a form of oxygen foreign to the Earth's solar system. These oxygen isotopes -- carrying a different number of neutrons from native oxygen -- lit up under the scanner, Messenger said.

Those Dark Ages only happened in Europe. The rest of the world went on developing new science without them.

The Arabs and Chinese in particular continued to make advances during the European Dark Ages.

Confused Confucious philosophy with emphasis on harmony discouraged technical advancements and helped to bring about stagnation.

Remember that the European Dark Ages began in roughly 479 AD (something like that) and Lasted until maybe the 15th or 16th century AD. You are saying that the Chinese made no advancements during that period?
