Guess what!  You're a little behind.  It's now the 21st Century.

Also you should brush up on your history a little.  Ever heard of 
the Inquisition/Crusades?  How about the Black Death?  Perhaps 
other major diseases and famine?  Maybe an average lifespan of 
35-ish years old?  Does the name Ghengis Khan and the Mongolian 
conquests mean anything?
