Not a dig at anyone, especially not the Arabs who basically preserved philosophy and mathematics while Europe entered the Dark Ages.

If they were observing us today, they'd still see plenty of war and destruction. It just so happens that a fraction of the worlds population lives under "peaceful" conditions. That's not universally true.

There's a quite a bit more human energy going into war and destruction right now than into "peacefully collaborating among mankind to discover and explore planets."
