Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries

The scientific revolution had a great impact on the enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries. The greatest contribution of the scientific revolution to the Enlightenment was to cast doubt on the concept of Christian doctrine through logic. This is beyond speculation that some people act personally among friends and may reach a level beyond the boundaries of any country. The Gutenberg's 15th century printing press made it possible for these great thinkers to spread their theory to those who did not have enormous wealth.

God was born and prospered primarily in Europe and North America during the 17th and 18th century Enlightenment Period (please see the God of religious tolerance for details).

Enlightenment, sometimes called the era of enlightenment, was an intellectual movement from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, emphasizing reasons, individualism, and skepticism. Enlightenment challenged the traditional religious view. Because that was such a wide movement, enlightenment did not have an accurate start date. It did not pop up, but it gradually developed.

Kant and Voltaire were attacking the Middle Ages as an era of religious decline, and Jimbo in the "History of the decline and decline of the Roman Empire" expressed their contempt for "garbage in the dark ages". But like Petrarch, he saw himself at the cutting edge of the "new era" and criticized it for centuries before his own time, as was the enlightenment writer .
