The Scientific Revolution: Copernicus and Galileo

Scientific Revolution: The scientific revolution of Copernicus and Galileo has brought new and significant changes. It is very different that people started seeing. So far, religion is always a question of pure faith. Individuals can not use experience-based data or reasons to prove or develop religious concepts. People contradictory to the church are considered infidels and punished. At the present time, people believe in the theoretical universe of Ptolemy. The earth is the center and everything surrounds it.

In the 17th century, scientific knowledge and the scientific revolution made remarkable progress. The works of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo abandoned the old concept that the earth is the center of the universe. These findings bring serious challenges to the Bible and religious authorities, Galileo accuses heresy as an example. So the Bible is regarded as authority over faith and moral issues, but it is no longer scientific authority (or means). The mathematical interpretation of gravity in Isaac Newton (1642-1727) explains the behavior of objects on the earth and the sky objects. This promotes the natural world view controlled by natural law. In other words, this will raise the theology of theological creation of the universe, leave it to the field dominated by the laws of nature, and leave the outdoors.

During the scientific revolution, scientists such as Galileo, Copernicus, Descartes, Bacon discussed the potential of God, human ability and the possibility to understand the world. Ultimately, the impact of the new scientific discoveries will begin to influence the way people and people think in Europe. Society began to question the authority of traditional knowledge about space. This in turn makes them suspect the national traditional view and the concept of social order. In the scientific revolution, "human thought changes from the medieval world to emphasize the eternal world of God who manages human beings, the universe, and nature and is derived from the understanding of unchanging knowledge and the laws of nature The accepted truth has nothing to do with it. "The scientists changed their perception of the world.
