I was always wondered, how Western civilization would be now if we had all records and art from Greece and Rome? Maybe they could avoid dark ages? I think that the influence of Dark Ages is still here.
It's hard to say. There are alot of Historians that would argue that the Dark Ages is a bad way to describe a period in History where the world was undergoing radical transformation at fundamental levels in terms of agriculture and industry.

How about science and culture? It was a step back, as I see it.
In some parts of the world yes, things were done differently. The East suffered no such slowdown :)
