Due to the forceful action of the churches teachings, Europe and most of the world believed in the geocentric universe model, which included everything in orbit to revolve around the earth. Since most of Europe could not disprove the church or even read the Latin language to check the consistency of these theories, people just followed. Scientists never bothered to investigate the theory until the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation gave people a higher cause to search for the truth and answer the questions that were regurgitating around the world. Galileo proved Copernicus's finding that the world was Heliocentric or "sun-centered" and published his book which was later placed on the Index of Forbidden Books. These, as well as other scientific findings gave way to a scholastic and scientific method for all scientists. After that, many scientists began popping up and explaining things in way of scientific calculations rather than the belief that god created this and that and the third. this created a major trouble in society that continues to this day between the church and science. many people began to reject the church's teaching and gave way to the new religion Deism, which meant that God was only a creator of earth and not a controlling figure. This gave way to the Church's retaliation during the Inquisition.
Questions about the world erupted when people began to doubt the Church. The world was now examined under a new perspective. Religious theories weren't everything. Scientific facts could be proved. Nicolaus Copernicus found the Earth and other planets to revolve around the sun. His heliocentric theory of the solar system was proved by Galileo. Galileo was summoned by the church to recant his discovery and to be placed on house arrest. Both of these scientists were the fathers of the scientific method. Other contributors were Tycho Brahe, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. They all created the scientific method we use today and many other aspects of science. The results of the scientific revolution was unprecedented
BEOFRE THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLTION, MOST OF THE WOULD INCLUDING EUROPE, BELIEVED ARISTOLES CLAIM THAT THE EARTH WAS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE ANS THE SUN, STARS, AND PLANETS REVOLVED AROUBD THE EARTH. MANY SCIENTISTS DID NOT AGREE WITH THIS THEORY, SO MANY KEPT TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE DISCREPANCIES NOTED BY SCIENTISTS CONCERNING THIS WITHOUT INVESTIGATING THE THEORY ITSELF. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE, DURIMG THE MIDDLE AGES SUPPORTED THE LACK OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION. INSTEAD, THE CHURCH CENTERED THE PEOPLES ATTENTION ON, SALVATION; AND THE FEUDAL SYSTEM CENTERED EVERYONE'S ATTENTION ON EVERYDAY LOCAL CONCERNS. MEANING THAT THE LIVES OF THE MAJORITY OF EUROPEANS, INCLUDING THE NOBLES WERE NOT INVOLVED WITH THE CONCEPTS BEYOND MILITARY TRIUMPH AND ENDLESS SALVATION. GRADUALLY AS EUROPEAN CHANGED INTENSELY AS A RESULT OF THE RENAISSANCE AND THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION, THE EMERGENCE OF UNIVERSITIES GAVE COMPOSITION TO GROWING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WORLD. EUROPEAN WHO WERE EDUCATED STARTED TO SEARCH THE WORLD AROUND THEM WITH GREAT ENERGY. THEIR RESULTS WERE REVOLUTIONARY.
After the Protestant Reformation, people began to question the church and its teachings. Nicolaus Copernicus began the heliocentric theory, stating that the earth revovled around the sun and that the sun was the center of the universe. However, Copernicus died before he was able to prove his theory. Eventually Galileo proved it for him. He published his book "The Assayer" which was put on the Index of Forbidden Books. Deism also popped up. This was a new religion that stated that god was only the creator and he was not controlling of the world. Newton also announced his laws of gravity. Many new ideas and inventions were developed during this period of time.
The Scientific Revolution took place as a result of the knowledge gained from the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. These two events are very important because it caused many people in Europe to look for the truth of many lingering questions instead of clinging on to the many baseless claims of the church. Now many people especially scientists began to question the church's teachings. One such scientist was Gallieo who proved that Copernicus' Heliocentic model of the world was indeed true. Others also began writing books that questioned many things that the church deemed as offensive to them. To counter this, the church created an index of forbidden books was banned in the eyes of the church and anyone caught with or reading one of these would be excommunicated and declared a heretic. Gallieo too published a book that was included in the index of Forbidden books. Now that the church's influence on the people began weakening, people began to think for themselves instead of relying on the church. They reject the church and made their own religion ,Deism. This religion was set on the belief that god was only a "watchmaker" of the world. This greatly angered the church and they brought about the inqusition to terminate the heretics and traitors of their church.
Through the teachings of the chuch and ptolemy, the world believed in the geocentric model (the earth was center, and everything revolved around it). It wasn't until Nicolaus Copernicus came along and believed in the heliocentric model (the sun was the center of the universe, and the planets revolved around it). When Galileo published a book and made it more popular by writing it in Italian, it began a big controversy. The church then summoned Galileo before the inquisition and was forced to recant his teachings and findings. Even though he did, he still reseached and documented his findings while he was under house arrest. Yet he had already started a revolution. After this had started, scientist began to research new findings and inventing new ideas. Such as Sir Issac Newton, who developed the law of gravity. Also, Francis Brache published works on inductive logic. The scientific method also emerged. The scientific method was to prove what the mind concluded, document it, repeat it for others, and open it up to experimentation. Many people have changed their beliefs because of the scientific revolution. People either began to become atheists, who believed in no god or Deists, who believed that god played a simple role in life. This angered the catholic church and again the church loss more of it's power, that it once had from the middle ages
--Throughout the Middle Ages the impact of the church and the political structure led to a lack of scientific investigation while salvation and military conquest were more important concepts. Yet, after the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation, questions abut the world began to arise. --Copernicus developed a theory which stated that the Earth revolved around the sun and that the earth rotated on its axis daily. This is known as the heliocentric theory. Many were skeptical of this theory, especially followers of the church. Copernicus did publish a book to prove himself, but it wasn't fully acknowledged until Galileo reinstated the theory, 89 years later. By Galileo being fully able to prove and object any question about the heliocentric theory, the Roman Catholic Church summoned him. He was forced to recant and his book was placed on the Index of Forbidden Books. --The scientific method, which is still in use today, states that one had to prove what the mind concluded, document it, repeat for others, and be able to experiment. Next to the pioneers of the method, Copernicus and Galileo, many other scientists used it. Tycho Brahe and Francis Bacon both recorded their observations and made proper conclusions about their findings. Johannes Kepler developed laws of planets while Isaac Newton invented calculus to prove the theories of each of the aforementioned men along with many others. Many Christians started have a change of heart, losing their faith in the church's teachings. Atheists, those who don't believe in any god, and Deists, those who believe that a god created the world and left it to run by itself, started to appear.
Most people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that other planets revolved around it. Nobody questioned this theory since the church believed and followed the idea of it. This soon came to an end when Copernicus came up with the idea of the earth not being the center of the universe. He released a book under this theory but no one ever acknowledged it. The church remained unharmed with this theory since it was not proven. This did not last long. 89 years later Galileo reinstated this theory. Now it was no longer a theory but a proven fact that the earth did was not the center but instead the sun was the center. His book was later put into the index of forbidden books. Many great scientists roamed the streets of the world. They all have contributed greatly during the scientific revolution.
During the scientific revolution the very ideas that were set by the church were being questioned. Before long the geocentric model of the universe was also questioned. Copernicus came up with a theory that the earth was not the center. but instead the sun was and that the rest of the planets revolved around it. Due to the church being the dominator of many peoples lives, people did not acknowledge this much. But soon many other theories were also challenged. Now people started to use calculation and proved ideas instead of just relying on the ideas produced by the church. The very believes of the church were contradicting the proven facts of science. Soon enough deists' started to appear and the church began to loose its power. They believed that God created the earth but he left us to run it.
Educated Europeans began to examine the world around them with a new and wider view which sparked the Scientific Revolution. Nicolaus Copernicus developed a mathematical theory known today as the heliocentric theory which stated that earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun. The Copernican model really didn't take off until Galileo came about. A couple years later Galileo showed how the rotation of the earth produced the rotations of heaven and how the stars' great distance from the Earth prevented us to see their changed position. Also the scientific method developed, due to scholasticism. The fathers of the scientific method were Copernicus and Galileo but Tycho Brahe, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler and Sir Issac Newton also contributed. The SCientific Revolution led the way for others to contribute as well as use a system of observation, reason, experimentation, mathematical proof and even conduct scientific inquires. The Scientific Revolutino also contributed to a belief system known as Deism where this religion's god didn't interfere or interact with His people.
The Scientific Revolution: Prove it or Lose it The Catholic Church wanted people to focus on salvation and religion while feudal systems wanted people to focus on local concerns. Aristotle devolved a theory that the Earth is center of the universe. Science was just coming out at this point, so most science was rejected by church because it is not the way of god. People lowly began to drift from church and take science in. There was research happening trying to prove Aristotle's theory. Scientific investigation was lacking greatly in the middle ages, due to the churches focus on salvation. Due to the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, Europeans began to see past what they know and learn. Scientific revolution evolved from here.
The Copernican Revolution: A Revolution About Revolutions Nicolaus Copernicus broke out into the light with a mathematical theory called the heliocentric Theory. This was the belief that the earth and other planets revolved around the sun. Most people knew the world was spherical, which brings us to his next belief that the world turns on its axis, but there were skeptics about his theory. He later published a book in 1543 called The Revolution of the Heavenly Bodies. This book was meant to prove his theory but Galileo, helped further the belief. In 1632, Galileo published a book called Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World. It was written in Italian to get a wider audience. Galileo’s book disproved the Ptolemy model which is by the Catholic Church. He shows how the earth is different each day, and that it rotates. Galileo was sent to the Inquisition, and his book was put in the Index (where most forbidden books went). He still continued his research under house arrest.
The Scientific Method: In search of Truth Scientific method was a scholastic idea. What it is was a process of thought, organization and experiments. A person had a question, he would make his guess, document it, test his theory a few times, until his question is answered. Copernicus and Galileo were the founding fathers of the Scientific Method. Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Francis Bacon and Sir Isaac Newtown all helped bring the scientific method into wider spread with mathematics and observations. Isaac Newton’s book The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy he advanced in math to help prove other scientist theories and he even invented the law of gravity. Science grew more and more along with observations and new learning’s about the world and its surroundings. The microscope and telescope were used often. People began to reject church but others learned science while keeping there religion. This group was broken of into Atheist (non believers) and deist (believers)
The scientific revolution led to Deism, a believe that God is who created earth and life. He was known as a “watchmaker”, he set up the world, gave it its natural ways and things flow the way they do because of God. This was a theory in religion. Science and Religion still battle to this day.
Before the Scientific Revolution, everyone believed that the universe was geocentric, meaning that earth was the center of the universe and that everything else revolved around it. The Catholic Church was a big supporter of this idea, and since the church focused people's attention only on salvation, noone thought to question it. Nicolaus Copernicus developed a heliocentric theory, where the sun was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. In 1543 he published a book about his theory, however he died without proving it. In 1632 Galileo published his book in Italian, so all people could understand it, where he proved Copernicus' heliocentric theory by means of a telescope. The church summoned Galileo before the Inquisition and forced him to recant his theory. His book was put on the Index of Forbidden Books. During this time, the scientific method was developed. This method used observation, experimentation and mathematical proof to prove what the mind concluded. some of the contributors to the scientific method were Copernicus and Galileo, Tycho Brahe, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler and Sir Isaac Newton. All these scientists used the microscope and telescope, and they created labor-saving machines and developed power sources from water. Because of the Scientific Revolution a lot of people became atheists, people who don't believe in God, or Deists, who believe that God exists and that he created earth, but he doesn't interfere in its workings. On the other hand the church defended itself on two fronts and people started challenging its authority even more.
The main change of the Scientific Revolution was that people started needing proof, in order to believe in things. The Scientific Revolution was also time when many things were discovered, and questioned. One of the biggest things that happened during this time period was when Copernicus had made the Heliocentric. This theory was that the Earth revolved around the sun, and the Earth was not the center of the universe. This went against the very popular belief of the Catholic Church, which believed in the geocentric theory. Copernicus was not able to prove his theory, but a man named Galileo eventually would. many new learning advancements occured during this time as well. For example, Johannes Kepler developed the laws of planetary motion based on observation and mathematics. Tycho Brache made the first observatory, and Francis Bacon published books about inductive logic. Religion changed during the Scientific Revolution as well. Catholicism was still a very strong religion, but not as strong as it had benn. Many people were converting to a new religion called Deism. Deism was basically the belief that God had created the earth, but then let it run by itself. Many people became atheists as well.
The Scientific Revolution brought about new ideas and the beliesfs of the Catholic Church were once again being tested. Copernicus stated that the universe was heliocentric rather than geocentric. This meant that the preachings of the church that said that all revolved around the earth was untrue. This did not please the church, for their ideas were once again being attacked. As a counter-attack to all of the new sceintific ideas, the Catholic Church published The Index. The Index was a list of all the banned works and books that were circulating and going against Catholic ideas. One who was found reading them was decided to be a heretic. This list amazingly was kept working until 1822! because of all of teh new scientific findings abroad, many people bagan thinking for themselves and coming up with their own scientific theories. Soon enough Deism was a new belief systaem that was given birth to. deism was the belief in a powerful god who created and presided over an orderly realm but who did not interfere in its workings. The World had natural laws in which to operate and it was then left to work rather than controlled akll of the time by an upper being.
The Catholic church forced many "standard" beliefs upon its followers, such as the geocentric model of the universe, and strict religious teachings. during the Revolution, many people began to think, and go against such ideas. the previous lack of scientific investigation was surely made up for at this point. Nicolaus copernicus developed the heliocentric model of the universe, and published books on said theory. after Copernicus' death, galileo took his ideas even further. When the church found out about his ideas, he was brought up to the inquisition. He was told to recant, and sort of "take back what he said", but he refused, and was put on house arrest. His publishings were also added to the Index of Forbidden Books. During theScientific revolution, many other people came up with new ideas. the scientific method was developed, as well as many mathematical techniques and scientific advacnes. the scientific revolution played an important part is launching the Age of exploration.
During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church focused all its time and teachings on salvation. The Church always lacked teaching anything that had to do with questioning, or using your mind. When the Scientific Reformation came to play, people began to start questions the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Church. The church taught Europe and most of the world to believe in the geocentric universe model, which stated that earth was the center of the universe, and everything orbited around it. No one ever bothered looking at other theories that different scientists were putting out, because everyone trusted the church. When Galileo was able to prove Copernicus’s theory that the universe was Heliocentric or sun-centered, it started a new “trend” with the way people lived. More scientist and inventors such as Tycho Brahe (built an observatory), Francis Bacon (published works on inductive logic), Johannes Kepler (developed laws of planetary motion) and Sir Isaac Newton (invented calculus to help prove theories of other scientists) were coming out with their ideas and inventions. This was a start of a new revolution in Europe.
Before the Scientific Revolution, Europeans believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, stars, and planets revolved around the earth. Europe had changed because of the Renaissance and the protestant reformation the Europeans began to look at the world differently. Many scientists wanted to prove that the church and their reasoning was incorrect but the church didnt allow this and always punished the scientists who tried.
Before the Scientific Revolution, people did not question the church. They simply believed what they were told and didn't really care about the world around them. They were taught to only care about conquest, giving to the church, and eternal salvation. Many people believed in the geocentric model of the universe, proposed by Aristotle. This model had the earth in the center with the sun and all of the other planets revolving around it. Nicolaus Copernicus disagreed with this. He proposed the heliocentric model in which the sun was the center of the universe. Although Nicolaus Copernicus' idea was debated widely, Galileo was the one who proved it. People were now beginning to question religion. They saw that the newly founded scientific method could produce answers just as the church could, but these answers could actually be proven. The rise of universities and new found information caused people to wonder about the world around them. This put the church in a bad spot, it was losing its people. Many people became atheists, people who don't believe in any god, or deists. Deists were people who believed that god existed and created the world, but that he had no active role in the world. The church now had to defend itself on two fronts. The Protestant Reformation challenged the church and pope's power on theological grounds while the Revolution challenged their authority on scientific and mathematical grounds.
Before the Scientific Revolution, people believed that earth was the center of the universe, and that everything revolved around it. In Middle Ages, people weren't focused much on science, since they listened to the church. But, because of Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, smart Europeans started to examine the world they live in. Nicolaos Copernicus made a theory that Earth revolved around the sun. At first, his theory brought a debate. But, Galileo was able to defend Copernicus' thoery. But, he teachings were in the List of Forbidden Books, and he was in house arrest. He still continued to research his findings. During that time, also the Scientific Method became known. It was the system of observation, reason, experiment, and proof. Many famous people like Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and Johannes Kepler started using the scientific method. Many people during period of Scientific Revolution believed in Deism, a belief that God exists but plays a passive role in life.
During the Middle Ages, the Church and Feudalism left no room for free thought outside military and salvation. The Renaissance and Protestant Reformation tested the churches practices, so now science was going to be tested as well.
The Copernican Revolution Nicolaus Copernicus was a scientist who believed greatly that the Earth was indeed not the center of the universe, but instead, all of the planets revolved around the sun. He was scorned at, but published his works in a book. But Copernicus' theory wouldn't have taken off unless Galileo hadn't published his book, Diolouge Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World. He actually proved Copernicus' theory, but was forced by the church to recant his actions. He did, however, continue to research his findings while under house arest.
The Scientific Method During the Renaissance, scientific meaning was determined only by the scholastic method, which was based on aristotelianism. Reason was the chief method of determining truth. Thenn the scientific method was created, and experimentation was used to find truth and truth could be proven. Tycho Brahe and Francis Bacon are the main men behind this idea. Sir Isaac Newton took it a step further by inventing calculus to prove the Galileo and Copernican Theories mathamatically. He also invented the Law of Gravity.
Before the scientific Revolution, people believed the church had told them. This all changed when the Scientific Rvolution Began. People no longer believed the church or looked for answer in church, they now believed in science and theories. They believed in things that can be proven for the most part and was no longer told what and what not to believe by church. People questioned everything, to find out weather what they knew then was true. One of the Findings during this time period was the the Heliocentric theory, which stated that the sun was in the middle and the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around like the church had claimed it to be (geocentric). Before Copernicus came up with this theory, the people believed the Geocentric theory, which stated that the sun revolved around the earth, which was obviously false. This began an argument that is still being fought over. The church people believe that god created everything and controls everything as well, while others (deism) believes that although god had created the world, he does not control everything in it. The scientific revolution resulted in the church losing alot of power, power they had over the people.
During the Middle Age, most of the Europeans believed that Earth was the center of the universes and the sun and all the stars go around it. However, this idea had changed after the Renaissance. Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who came up with the helicocentric theory. He believed that the earth and other planets go arond the sun and that it also rotated on its axis. This theory brought aboout debate and skepticism. Later on, Galileo had brought up this theory again, which upset the church. The church than forced him to recant. Glileo's book was also placed on The Index. During this period of time, many scientific instruments were developed such as microscope and telescope.
During the Middle Ages the church was in total power. Whatever the church said went, and any beliefs they had were final. Before the scientific revolution people believed that the earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus developed the heliocentric theory. This meant that the world was sun-centered. Galileo helped prove this theory. This caused many philosophers, & scientists to challenge the church's teachings. Copernicus and Galileo were the fathers of the scientific method. The scientific method uses observation, hypothesis, and experimentation. The telescope was invented. Johannes Kepler developed the laws of planetary motion. Sir Isaac Newton invented calculus, and developed the law of gravity. Many people began to become atheists, or deists. Atheists are people who don't believe god exists. Deists believed that god exists, but plays a role in life.
During the Scientific Revolution people began to question the church about the world. This created a new perspective to examine the world. Copernicus found out that the earth revolved around the sun which was proved by Galileo. The scientific method was created and is what we use today.
From the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Scientific Revolution, the world changed drastically. Through the changes, many individuals were curious about everything that surrounded them. This was because during the Middle Ages people were mostly focused on religion and concerned on achieving salvation. The Scientific Revolution was based on the use of the scientific method which led to many discoveries.
Copernicus challenged the geocentric theory, a belief that the planets, stars, and the sun revolved around the earth. According to Copernicus, this was not the case. He concluded through research that the earth was not the center, but rather the sun. If this was to be true, the Catholic Church would have been proven wrong. The Church refused to accept this theory.
At the time, not many believed Copernicus's theory. But one individual not only agreed with him, but he was the one who proved it to be true. His name was Galileo. He did this by modifying the telescope and used it to prove the theory to be true. The Church was again angered by this and ordered him the recant. Galileo did so and was put under house arrest.
During the Scientific Revolution a new religion was developed. It was called Deism. It was a religion that believed that God created the world. But unlike other religions, they believe God was only a watchmaker, a creator that watches his creation and does not interfere.
The Scientific Revolution had a big impact on Europe. Before the revolution, people based their lives on religion, but due to all the discoveries, people questioned the church and started to stray from religion.
the scientific revolution: prove it or loose it -most of the world believed, as Aristotle asserted, that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, starts, and planets revolved around the eartg. -but as Europe changed dramatically due to the Renaissance and the prostestant reformation, and as the growth of universities gave us structure to burgeoing questions about the world, educated Europeans began to examine the world around them with a new vigor. the results were revolutionary.
the copernican revolution: a revolution about revolutions -Nicolaus Copernicus developed a mathematical theory that asserted that the earth and the other celestial bodies revolved around the sun and that the earth also rotated on it axis daily. -Copernicus's heliocentric theory of the solar system brought about much debate, and much skepticism -in 1543 Copernicus published The Revolution Of Heavenly Bodies to prove his points -galileo proved his points, and in 1632 galileo pub lished hi Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World. -his book was placed in the INDEX
the scientific method: in search of truth -under the scientific method,one had to prove what the mind concluded, document it, repeat it for others and open to experimentation -Copernicus and Galileo were two fathers of the scientific method -this led to the industrial revolution - people who rejected the church became atheists: who believed that not go exsists, or deists:believes that god exists but plays a passive role on life
in the scientific revolution many discoveries were found. church was very currupt and was against questinging the believes. but new ideas spread and many were punished for their actions.1492 the copernicusstated that the sun was the center of the universe and he established the heliocentric model. however not until 1632, was this thoery proved.galileo wrote a book and was questioned about the theory. he was put under the inqusition where he was punished for his teachings. galileo contined his reaserch under house arrest. soon the scientific method was discovered. people questioned more and tried to find the reason for being.many others contributed to the scientific revolution. together they developed a widly used system of observation, reason, experiment, and mathematical proof. the sientific rev. also lead to another split in the church. a new group formet the deism. their believes are that god is the creator but is a passive role in life.
Before the Scientific Revolution, the church had no interest in scientific investigation and made everyone focus on salvation. Just about everyone believed in everything the church had said, for example that the Earth is in the center of the universe. Nicolaus Copernicus had a developed a theory that everyone revolves around the sun rather than the Earth. The church immediately had him recant for what he said as they thought this was completely wrong and went against the church’s ideals. In 1632, Galileo had actually proven this theory. The church was outraged and summoned Galileo and was made to recant, although he denied it under his breath. He published a book on his findings called, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief System of the World. His book was put on The Index, which was a list that showed all the banned books that the church did not approve of. Galileo was put under house arrest and stayed there till his death, although he continued to do his research and document all of his findings. Soon the scientific method was created, which was where one has to prove what they had said though research and experimentations. Copernicus and Galileo were the fathers of this method, although there were many other contributors like, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton. Together all these men brought about a revolutionary new system that would be widely used about a century later up to this day. This new method would bring about the Industrial Revolution and Deism.
The Copernican Revolution: A Revolution About Revolutions The Scientific Revolution was a time when people of Europe began to question the thoughts and teachings of the Church, when it came to the scientific aspect of things. Before The Scientific Revolution, most of the world believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that all the planets, the sun, and the stars revolved around it, as Aristotle had said. But, the Copernicus Theory soon was thought up by N. Copernicus, who said that it was the sun that was the center of the universe, and everything revolved around the sun. This was called the heliocentric theory, and the it brought about a lot of questions and skeptics, as it wasn't what the church was teaching. After Copernicus died, Galileo took over and published theories on the matter. His books were placed on the Index of Forbidden Books, as per the Church's decision.
The Scientific Revolution was a major change in history. Observation and reason were used to study the world that the people lived in. The Scientific method was created by men such as Francis Bacon and Tycho Bahe. This method was a way to observe and experiment. Copernicus challenged the church when he said that the universe was heliocentric rather then the common belief that it was geocentric or earth centered. HE published a book called The Revolution of Heavenly Bodies which began to prove his theory. Later Galileo completely proved the theory and published a book but since it was in opposition to the church and the churh felt threatened by him he had to recant his beliefs and his book was put on the index of forbidden books. The Scientific Revolution was another major turning point in history. James Thaon
Educated Europeans began to examine the world around them due to the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation. One being Nicolaus Copernicus who created a heliocentric model of the universe. Before this model, the Sun was told that it revolved around the Earth. Copernicus' heliocentric model stated that the Earth revolved around the Sun and other plants did as well. Galileo was able to prove this theory and thus was put under trial and forcefully told to recant. These two men were the founders of the Scientific Method. This was deemed the most reliable means of determining scientific meaning. Because of this, many Christians either became atheists, which were people who believed that no God existed, or Deists, who believed that God exists but did not interfere with the world it created.
During the scientific revolution, many people began to approach life with new ideas and theory's. One man named Nicolais Copernicus developed a mathematical theory that asserted that the Earth and the other planets revolved around the sun.This brought up much debate but really took off when galeio proved the heliocentric theory.The Church did not like the idea of the heliocentric theory beacause they taught of the Ptolemaic model and they felt that they men treid to mak the church look bad. The book was placed on the index of forbidden books until 1822
Before the Scientific Revolution, people mainly believed that the Earth was the center of the universe (geo-centric theory) and that everything else revolved around it. During the Middle Ages the Catholic Church lacked scientific investigation. The church focused on salvation and whatever was said in the bible was what they followed.
Nicolaus Copernicus developed his heliocentric theory during the Scientific Revolution. Meaning the sun was the center of the universe. He proved this with mathematical study. His theory was questioned by many, the Catholic Church said it was un-Christian. Galileo later proved Copernicus's theory.
The scientific method was creating during the revolution. Reason wasn't good enough, under the scientific method one could prove something, document it, repeat it and experiment. Isaac Newton also developed the law of gravity.
All these new theories led people to question the church. Many began to reject the church finding their answers in science. This is when Deism started. Many people also became atheists. - Alyssa Olivo
The Scientific Revolution was a period of proving things. The Copernican Revolution was vreated by Nicolaus Copernicus. He created a mathematical theory that said that the Earth revolved around the sun and that the sun rotated on its axis. People were shocked to hear this, even though they knew the Earth was round. People started to debate his theory about the solar system. He published The Revolution of the heavenlyBodies to prove himself. Galileo continued to prove Copernicus theory. He showed how the rotation of the Earth on its axis produced the apparent rotations of the heavens and the stars. Because he proved so much, it was hard to accept the ptolemalic model. His books were placed on the Index of Forbiddened books. The scientific method was used to prove theories. Galileo and Copernicus were the "fathers" of this method. Newton took further and proved gravity. They developed a system of observation, reason, experiments and mathematical proof. This all lead to the Industrial Revolution.

This gave way to the Church's retaliation during the Inquisition.

Questions about the world erupted when people began to doubt the Church. The world was now examined under a new perspective. Religious theories weren't everything. Scientific facts could be proved.
Nicolaus Copernicus found the Earth and other planets to revolve around the sun. His heliocentric theory of the solar system was proved by Galileo. Galileo was summoned by the church to recant his discovery and to be placed on house arrest.
Both of these scientists were the fathers of the scientific method. Other contributors were Tycho Brahe, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. They all created the scientific method we use today and many other aspects of science. The results of the scientific revolution was unprecedented

THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION: PROVE IT OR LOSE IT
BEOFRE THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLTION, MOST OF THE WOULD INCLUDING EUROPE, BELIEVED ARISTOLES CLAIM THAT THE EARTH WAS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE ANS THE SUN, STARS, AND PLANETS REVOLVED AROUBD THE EARTH. MANY SCIENTISTS DID NOT AGREE WITH THIS THEORY, SO MANY KEPT TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE DISCREPANCIES NOTED BY SCIENTISTS CONCERNING THIS WITHOUT INVESTIGATING THE THEORY ITSELF. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE, DURIMG THE MIDDLE AGES SUPPORTED THE LACK OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION. INSTEAD, THE CHURCH CENTERED THE PEOPLES ATTENTION ON, SALVATION; AND THE FEUDAL SYSTEM CENTERED EVERYONE'S ATTENTION ON EVERYDAY LOCAL CONCERNS. MEANING THAT THE LIVES OF THE MAJORITY OF EUROPEANS, INCLUDING THE NOBLES WERE NOT INVOLVED WITH THE CONCEPTS BEYOND MILITARY TRIUMPH AND ENDLESS SALVATION. GRADUALLY AS EUROPEAN CHANGED INTENSELY AS A RESULT OF THE RENAISSANCE AND THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION, THE EMERGENCE OF UNIVERSITIES GAVE COMPOSITION TO GROWING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WORLD. EUROPEAN WHO WERE EDUCATED STARTED TO SEARCH THE WORLD AROUND THEM WITH GREAT ENERGY. THEIR RESULTS WERE REVOLUTIONARY.
CAITLIN CAGGINO PERIOD 7
After the Protestant Reformation, people began to question the church and its teachings. Nicolaus Copernicus began the heliocentric theory, stating that the earth revovled around the sun and that the sun was the center of the universe. However, Copernicus died before he was able to prove his theory. Eventually Galileo proved it for him. He published his book "The Assayer" which was put on the Index of Forbidden Books. Deism also popped up. This was a new religion that stated that god was only the creator and he was not controlling of the world. Newton also announced his laws of gravity. Many new ideas and inventions were developed during this period of time.
-Faten Odeh
The Scientific Revolution took place as a result of the knowledge gained from the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. These two events are very important because it caused many people in Europe to look for the truth of many lingering questions instead of clinging on to the many baseless claims of the church. Now many people especially scientists began to question the church's teachings. One such scientist was Gallieo who proved that Copernicus' Heliocentic model of the world was indeed true. Others also began writing books that questioned many things that the church deemed as offensive to them. To counter this, the church created an index of forbidden books was banned in the eyes of the church and anyone caught with or reading one of these would be excommunicated and declared a heretic. Gallieo too published a book that was included in the index of Forbidden books. Now that the church's influence on the people began weakening, people began to think for themselves instead of relying on the church. They reject the church and made their own religion ,Deism. This religion was set on the belief that god was only a "watchmaker" of the world. This greatly angered the church and they brought about the inqusition to terminate the heretics and traitors of their church.
Through the teachings of the chuch and ptolemy, the world believed in the geocentric model (the earth was center, and everything revolved around it). It wasn't until Nicolaus Copernicus came along and believed in the heliocentric model (the sun was the center of the universe, and the planets revolved around it). When Galileo published a book and made it more popular by writing it in Italian, it began a big controversy. The church then summoned Galileo before the inquisition and was forced to recant his teachings and findings. Even though he did, he still reseached and documented his findings while he was under house arrest. Yet he had already started a revolution. After this had started, scientist began to research new findings and inventing new ideas. Such as Sir Issac Newton, who developed the law of gravity. Also, Francis Brache published works on inductive logic. The scientific method also emerged. The scientific method was to prove what the mind concluded, document it, repeat it for others, and open it up to experimentation. Many people have changed their beliefs because of the scientific revolution. People either began to become atheists, who believed in no god or Deists, who believed that god played a simple role in life. This angered the catholic church and again the church loss more of it's power, that it once had from the middle ages

Period 7
--Throughout the Middle Ages the impact of the church and the political structure led to a lack of scientific investigation while salvation and military conquest were more important concepts. Yet, after the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation, questions abut the world began to arise.
--Copernicus developed a theory which stated that the Earth revolved around the sun and that the earth rotated on its axis daily. This is known as the heliocentric theory. Many were skeptical of this theory, especially followers of the church. Copernicus did publish a book to prove himself, but it wasn't fully acknowledged until Galileo reinstated the theory, 89 years later. By Galileo being fully able to prove and object any question about the heliocentric theory, the Roman Catholic Church summoned him. He was forced to recant and his book was placed on the Index of Forbidden Books.
--The scientific method, which is still in use today, states that one had to prove what the mind concluded, document it, repeat for others, and be able to experiment. Next to the pioneers of the method, Copernicus and Galileo, many other scientists used it. Tycho Brahe and Francis Bacon both recorded their observations and made proper conclusions about their findings. Johannes Kepler developed laws of planets while Isaac Newton invented calculus to prove the theories of each of the aforementioned men along with many others. Many Christians started have a change of heart, losing their faith in the church's teachings. Atheists, those who don't believe in any god, and Deists, those who believe that a god created the world and left it to run by itself, started to appear.
-Nicole Spodek
Most people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that other planets revolved around it. Nobody questioned this theory since the church believed and followed the idea of it. This soon came to an end when Copernicus came up with the idea of the earth not being the center of the universe. He released a book under this theory but no one ever acknowledged it. The church remained unharmed with this theory since it was not proven. This did not last long. 89 years later Galileo reinstated this theory. Now it was no longer a theory but a proven fact that the earth did was not the center but instead the sun was the center. His book was later put into the index of forbidden books. Many great scientists roamed the streets of the world. They all have contributed greatly during the scientific revolution.
Thamodi Rajapakse
During the scientific revolution the very ideas that were set by the church were being questioned. Before long the geocentric model of the universe was also questioned. Copernicus came up with a theory that the earth was not the center. but instead the sun was and that the rest of the planets revolved around it. Due to the church being the dominator of many peoples lives, people did not acknowledge this much. But soon many other theories were also challenged. Now people started to use calculation and proved ideas instead of just relying on the ideas produced by the church. The very believes of the church were contradicting the proven facts of science. Soon enough deists' started to appear and the church began to loose its power. They believed that God created the earth but he left us to run it.
Chamodi Rjapakse
Educated Europeans began to examine the world around them with a new and wider view which sparked the Scientific Revolution. Nicolaus Copernicus developed a mathematical theory known today as the heliocentric theory which stated that earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun. The Copernican model really didn't take off until Galileo came about. A couple years later Galileo showed how the rotation of the earth produced the rotations of heaven and how the stars' great distance from the Earth prevented us to see their changed position. Also the scientific method developed, due to scholasticism. The fathers of the scientific method were Copernicus and Galileo but Tycho Brahe, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler and Sir Issac Newton also contributed. The SCientific Revolution led the way for others to contribute as well as use a system of observation, reason, experimentation, mathematical proof and even conduct scientific inquires. The Scientific Revolutino also contributed to a belief system known as Deism where this religion's god didn't interfere or interact with His people.

The Scientific Revolution: Prove it or Lose it
The Catholic Church wanted people to focus on salvation and religion while feudal systems wanted people to focus on local concerns.
Aristotle devolved a theory that the Earth is center of the universe. Science was just coming out at this point, so most science was rejected by church because it is not the way of god. People lowly began to drift from church and take science in. There was research happening trying to prove Aristotle's theory.
Scientific investigation was lacking greatly in the middle ages, due to the churches focus on salvation. Due to the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, Europeans began to see past what they know and learn. Scientific revolution evolved from here.
The Copernican Revolution: A Revolution About Revolutions
Nicolaus Copernicus broke out into the light with a mathematical theory called the heliocentric Theory. This was the belief that the earth and other planets revolved around the sun. Most people knew the world was spherical, which brings us to his next belief that the world turns on its axis, but there were skeptics about his theory. He later published a book in 1543 called The Revolution of the Heavenly Bodies. This book was meant to prove his theory but Galileo, helped further the belief.
In 1632, Galileo published a book called Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World. It was written in Italian to get a wider audience. Galileo’s book disproved the Ptolemy model which is by the Catholic Church. He shows how the earth is different each day, and that it rotates. Galileo was sent to the Inquisition, and his book was put in the Index (where most forbidden books went). He still continued his research under house arrest.
The Scientific Method: In search of Truth
Scientific method was a scholastic idea. What it is was a process of thought, organization and experiments. A person had a question, he would make his guess, document it, test his theory a few times, until his question is answered.
Copernicus and Galileo were the founding fathers of the Scientific Method. Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Francis Bacon and Sir Isaac Newtown all helped bring the scientific method into wider spread with mathematics and observations. Isaac Newton’s book The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy he advanced in math to help prove other scientist theories and he even invented the law of gravity. Science grew more and more along with observations and new learning’s about the world and its surroundings. The microscope and telescope were used often. People began to reject church but others learned science while keeping there religion. This group was broken of into Atheist (non believers) and deist (believers)
The scientific revolution led to Deism, a believe that God is who created earth and life. He was known as a “watchmaker”, he set up the world, gave it its natural ways and things flow the way they do because of God. This was a theory in religion.
Science and Religion still battle to this day.

Before the Scientific Revolution, everyone believed that the universe was geocentric, meaning that earth was the center of the universe and that everything else revolved around it. The Catholic Church was a big supporter of this idea, and since the church focused people's attention only on salvation, noone thought to question it. Nicolaus Copernicus developed a heliocentric theory, where the sun was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. In 1543 he published a book about his theory, however he died without proving it. In 1632 Galileo published his book in Italian, so all people could understand it, where he proved Copernicus' heliocentric theory by means of a telescope. The church summoned Galileo before the Inquisition and forced him to recant his theory. His book was put on the Index of Forbidden Books. During this time, the scientific method was developed. This method used observation, experimentation and mathematical proof to prove what the mind concluded. some of the contributors to the scientific method were Copernicus and Galileo, Tycho Brahe, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler and Sir Isaac Newton. All these scientists used the microscope and telescope, and they created labor-saving machines and developed power sources from water. Because of the Scientific Revolution a lot of people became atheists, people who don't believe in God, or Deists, who believe that God exists and that he created earth, but he doesn't interfere in its workings. On the other hand the church defended itself on two fronts and people started challenging its authority even more.
The main change of the Scientific Revolution was that people started needing proof, in order to believe in things. The Scientific Revolution was also time when many things were discovered, and questioned. One of the biggest things that happened during this time period was when Copernicus had made the Heliocentric. This theory was that the Earth revolved around the sun, and the Earth was not the center of the universe. This went against the very popular belief of the Catholic Church, which believed in the geocentric theory. Copernicus was not able to prove his theory, but a man named Galileo eventually would. many new learning advancements occured during this time as well. For example, Johannes Kepler developed the laws of planetary motion based on observation and mathematics. Tycho Brache made the first observatory, and Francis Bacon published books about inductive logic. Religion changed during the Scientific Revolution as well. Catholicism was still a very strong religion, but not as strong as it had benn. Many people were converting to a new religion called Deism. Deism was basically the belief that God had created the earth, but then let it run by itself. Many people became atheists as well.
- Chris Barrett
The Scientific Revolution brought about new ideas and the beliesfs of the Catholic Church were once again being tested. Copernicus stated that the universe was heliocentric rather than geocentric. This meant that the preachings of the church that said that all revolved around the earth was untrue. This did not please the church, for their ideas were once again being attacked.
As a counter-attack to all of the new sceintific ideas, the Catholic Church published The Index. The Index was a list of all the banned works and books that were circulating and going against Catholic ideas. One who was found reading them was decided to be a heretic. This list amazingly was kept working until 1822!
because of all of teh new scientific findings abroad, many people bagan thinking for themselves and coming up with their own scientific theories.
Soon enough Deism was a new belief systaem that was given birth to.
deism was the belief in a powerful god who created and presided over an orderly realm but who did not interfere in its workings. The World had natural laws in which to operate and it was then left to work rather than controlled akll of the time by an upper being.
Nicole Kwoka. Period 7
The Catholic church forced many "standard" beliefs upon its followers, such as the geocentric model of the universe, and strict religious teachings. during the Revolution, many people began to think, and go against such ideas. the previous lack of scientific investigation was surely made up for at this point. Nicolaus copernicus developed the heliocentric model of the universe, and published books on said theory. after Copernicus' death, galileo took his ideas even further. When the church found out about his ideas, he was brought up to the inquisition. He was told to recant, and sort of "take back what he said", but he refused, and was put on house arrest. His publishings were also added to the Index of Forbidden Books.
During theScientific revolution, many other people came up with new ideas. the scientific method was developed, as well as many mathematical techniques and scientific advacnes. the scientific revolution played an important part is launching the Age of exploration.

period 4
During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church focused all its time and teachings on salvation. The Church always lacked teaching anything that had to do with questioning, or using your mind. When the Scientific Reformation came to play, people began to start questions the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Church. The church taught Europe and most of the world to believe in the geocentric universe model, which stated that earth was the center of the universe, and everything orbited around it. No one ever bothered looking at other theories that different scientists were putting out, because everyone trusted the church. When Galileo was able to prove Copernicus’s theory that the universe was Heliocentric or sun-centered, it started a new “trend” with the way people lived. More scientist and inventors such as Tycho Brahe (built an observatory), Francis Bacon (published works on inductive logic), Johannes Kepler (developed laws of planetary motion) and Sir Isaac Newton (invented calculus to help prove theories of other scientists) were coming out with their ideas and inventions. This was a start of a new revolution in Europe.
blog post above is alyssa gainey period 4 -- sorry forgot to put that.
Before the Scientific Revolution, Europeans believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, stars, and planets revolved around the earth. Europe had changed because of the Renaissance and the protestant reformation the Europeans began to look at the world differently. Many scientists wanted to prove that the church and their reasoning was incorrect but the church didnt allow this and always punished the scientists who tried.
Before the Scientific Revolution, people did not question the church. They simply believed what they were told and didn't really care about the world around them. They were taught to only care about conquest, giving to the church, and eternal salvation. Many people believed in the geocentric model of the universe, proposed by Aristotle. This model had the earth in the center with the sun and all of the other planets revolving around it. Nicolaus Copernicus disagreed with this. He proposed the heliocentric model in which the sun was the center of the universe. Although Nicolaus Copernicus' idea was debated widely, Galileo was the one who proved it.
People were now beginning to question religion. They saw that the newly founded scientific method could produce answers just as the church could, but these answers could actually be proven. The rise of universities and new found information caused people to wonder about the world around them. This put the church in a bad spot, it was losing its people. Many people became atheists, people who don't believe in any god, or deists. Deists were people who believed that god existed and created the world, but that he had no active role in the world. The church now had to defend itself on two fronts. The Protestant Reformation challenged the church and pope's power on theological grounds while the Revolution challenged their authority on scientific and mathematical grounds.

Before the Scientific Revolution, people believed that earth was the center of the universe, and that everything revolved around it. In Middle Ages, people weren't focused much on science, since they listened to the church. But, because of Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, smart Europeans started to examine the world they live in. Nicolaos Copernicus made a theory that Earth revolved around the sun. At first, his theory brought a debate. But, Galileo was able to defend Copernicus' thoery. But, he teachings were in the List of Forbidden Books, and he was in house arrest. He still continued to research his findings. During that time, also the Scientific Method became known. It was the system of observation, reason, experiment, and proof. Many famous people like Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and Johannes Kepler started using the scientific method. Many people during period of Scientific Revolution believed in Deism, a belief that God exists but plays a passive role in life.

Period 4
During the Middle Ages, the Church and Feudalism left no room for free thought outside military and salvation. The Renaissance and Protestant Reformation tested the churches practices, so now science was going to be tested as well.
The Copernican Revolution
Nicolaus Copernicus was a scientist who believed greatly that the Earth was indeed not the center of the universe, but instead, all of the planets revolved around the sun. He was scorned at, but published his works in a book. But Copernicus' theory wouldn't have taken off unless Galileo hadn't published his book, Diolouge Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World. He actually proved Copernicus' theory, but was forced by the church to recant his actions. He did, however, continue to research his findings while under house arest.
The Scientific Method
During the Renaissance, scientific meaning was determined only by the scholastic method, which was based on aristotelianism. Reason was the chief method of determining truth. Thenn the scientific method was created, and experimentation was used to find truth and truth could be proven. Tycho Brahe and Francis Bacon are the main men behind this idea. Sir Isaac Newton took it a step further by inventing calculus to prove the Galileo and Copernican Theories mathamatically. He also invented the Law of Gravity.
-Tom Rodberg period 4
Before the scientific Revolution, people believed the church had told them. This all changed when the Scientific Rvolution Began. People no longer believed the church or looked for answer in church, they now believed in science and theories. They believed in things that can be proven for the most part and was no longer told what and what not to believe by church. People questioned everything, to find out weather what they knew then was true. One of the Findings during this time period was the the Heliocentric theory, which stated that the sun was in the middle and the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around like the church had claimed it to be (geocentric). Before Copernicus came up with this theory, the people believed the Geocentric theory, which stated that the sun revolved around the earth, which was obviously false. This began an argument that is still being fought over. The church people believe that god created everything and controls everything as well, while others (deism) believes that although god had created the world, he does not control everything in it. The scientific revolution resulted in the church losing alot of power, power they had over the people.
During the Middle Age, most of the Europeans believed that Earth was the center of the universes and the sun and all the stars go around it. However, this idea had changed after the Renaissance. Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who came up with the helicocentric theory. He believed that the earth and other planets go arond the sun and that it also rotated on its axis. This theory brought aboout debate and skepticism. Later on, Galileo had brought up this theory again, which upset the church. The church than forced him to recant. Glileo's book was also placed on The Index. During this period of time, many scientific instruments were developed such as microscope and telescope.

During the Middle Ages the church was in total power. Whatever the church said went, and any beliefs they had were final. Before the scientific revolution people believed that the earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus developed the heliocentric theory. This meant that the world was sun-centered. Galileo helped prove this theory. This caused many philosophers, & scientists to challenge the church's teachings. Copernicus and Galileo were the fathers of the scientific method. The scientific method uses observation, hypothesis, and experimentation. The telescope was invented. Johannes Kepler developed the laws of planetary motion. Sir Isaac Newton invented calculus, and developed the law of gravity. Many people began to become atheists, or deists. Atheists are people who don't believe god exists. Deists believed that god exists, but plays a role in life.

During the Scientific Revolution people began to question the church about the world. This created a new perspective to examine the world. Copernicus found out that the earth revolved around the sun which was proved by Galileo. The scientific method was created and is what we use today.
Brian Im
From the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Scientific Revolution, the world changed drastically. Through the changes, many individuals were curious about everything that surrounded them. This was because during the Middle Ages people were mostly focused on religion and concerned on achieving salvation. The Scientific Revolution was based on the use of the scientific method which led to many discoveries.
Copernicus challenged the geocentric theory, a belief that the planets, stars, and the sun revolved around the earth. According to Copernicus, this was not the case. He concluded through research that the earth was not the center, but rather the sun. If this was to be true, the Catholic Church would have been proven wrong. The Church refused to accept this theory.
At the time, not many believed Copernicus's theory. But one individual not only agreed with him, but he was the one who proved it to be true. His name was Galileo. He did this by modifying the telescope and used it to prove the theory to be true. The Church was again angered by this and ordered him the recant. Galileo did so and was put under house arrest.
During the Scientific Revolution a new religion was developed. It was called Deism. It was a religion that believed that God created the world. But unlike other religions, they believe God was only a watchmaker, a creator that watches his creation and does not interfere.
The Scientific Revolution had a big impact on Europe. Before the revolution, people based their lives on religion, but due to all the discoveries, people questioned the church and started to stray from religion.

in the scientific revolution many discoveries were found. church was very currupt and was against questinging the believes. but new ideas spread and many were punished for their actions.1492 the copernicusstated that the sun was the center of the universe and he established the heliocentric model. however not until 1632, was this thoery proved.galileo wrote a book and was questioned about the theory. he was put under the inqusition where he was punished for his teachings. galileo contined his reaserch under house arrest. soon the scientific method was discovered. people questioned more and tried to find the reason for being.many others contributed to the scientific revolution. together they developed a widly used system of observation, reason, experiment, and mathematical proof. the sientific rev. also lead to another split in the church. a new group formet the deism. their believes are that god is the creator but is a passive role in life.
Before the Scientific Revolution, the church had no interest in scientific investigation and made everyone focus on salvation. Just about everyone believed in everything the church had said, for example that the Earth is in the center of the universe. Nicolaus Copernicus had a developed a theory that everyone revolves around the sun rather than the Earth. The church immediately had him recant for what he said as they thought this was completely wrong and went against the church’s ideals. In 1632, Galileo had actually proven this theory. The church was outraged and summoned Galileo and was made to recant, although he denied it under his breath. He published a book on his findings called, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief System of the World. His book was put on The Index, which was a list that showed all the banned books that the church did not approve of. Galileo was put under house arrest and stayed there till his death, although he continued to do his research and document all of his findings. Soon the scientific method was created, which was where one has to prove what they had said though research and experimentations. Copernicus and Galileo were the fathers of this method, although there were many other contributors like, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton. Together all these men brought about a revolutionary new system that would be widely used about a century later up to this day. This new method would bring about the Industrial Revolution and Deism.

The Copernican Revolution: A Revolution About Revolutions
The Scientific Revolution was a time when people of Europe began to question the thoughts and teachings of the Church, when it came to the scientific aspect of things. Before The Scientific Revolution, most of the world believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that all the planets, the sun, and the stars revolved around it, as Aristotle had said. But, the Copernicus Theory soon was thought up by N. Copernicus, who said that it was the sun that was the center of the universe, and everything revolved around the sun. This was called the heliocentric theory, and the it brought about a lot of questions and skeptics, as it wasn't what the church was teaching. After Copernicus died, Galileo took over and published theories on the matter. His books were placed on the Index of Forbidden Books, as per the Church's decision.
- Alexandra K. Period 4.
The Scientific Revolution was a major change in history. Observation and reason were used to study the world that the people lived in. The Scientific method was created by men such as Francis Bacon and Tycho Bahe. This method was a way to observe and experiment. Copernicus challenged the church when he said that the universe was heliocentric rather then the common belief that it was geocentric or earth centered. HE published a book called The Revolution of Heavenly Bodies which began to prove his theory. Later Galileo completely proved the theory and published a book but since it was in opposition to the church and the churh felt threatened by him he had to recant his beliefs and his book was put on the index of forbidden books. The Scientific Revolution was another major turning point in history.
James Thaon
Educated Europeans began to examine the world around them due to the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation. One being Nicolaus Copernicus who created a heliocentric model of the universe. Before this model, the Sun was told that it revolved around the Earth. Copernicus' heliocentric model stated that the Earth revolved around the Sun and other plants did as well. Galileo was able to prove this theory and thus was put under trial and forcefully told to recant. These two men were the founders of the Scientific Method. This was deemed the most reliable means of determining scientific meaning. Because of this, many Christians either became atheists, which were people who believed that no God existed, or Deists, who believed that God exists but did not interfere with the world it created.

The Copernican Revolution:
During the scientific revolution, many people began to approach life with new ideas and theory's. One man named Nicolais Copernicus developed a mathematical theory that asserted that the Earth and the other planets revolved around the sun.This brought up much debate but really took off when galeio proved the heliocentric theory.The Church did not like the idea of the heliocentric theory beacause they taught of the Ptolemaic model and they felt that they men treid to mak the church look bad. The book was placed on the index of forbidden books until 1822
Before the Scientific Revolution, people mainly believed that the Earth was the center of the universe (geo-centric theory) and that everything else revolved around it. During the Middle Ages the Catholic Church lacked scientific investigation. The church focused on salvation and whatever was said in the bible was what they followed.
Nicolaus Copernicus developed his heliocentric theory during the Scientific Revolution. Meaning the sun was the center of the universe. He proved this with mathematical study. His theory was questioned by many, the Catholic Church said it was un-Christian. Galileo later proved Copernicus's theory.
The scientific method was creating during the revolution. Reason wasn't good enough, under the scientific method one could prove something, document it, repeat it and experiment. Isaac Newton also developed the law of gravity.
All these new theories led people to question the church. Many began to reject the church finding their answers in science. This is when Deism started. Many people also became atheists.

The Scientific Revolution was a period of proving things. The Copernican Revolution was vreated by Nicolaus Copernicus. He created a mathematical theory that said that the Earth revolved around the sun and that the sun rotated on its axis. People were shocked to hear this, even though they knew the Earth was round. People started to debate his theory about the solar system. He published The Revolution of the heavenlyBodies to prove himself. Galileo continued to prove Copernicus theory. He showed how the rotation of the Earth on its axis produced the apparent rotations of the heavens and the stars. Because he proved so much, it was hard to accept the ptolemalic model. His books were placed on the Index of Forbiddened books. The scientific method was used to prove theories. Galileo and Copernicus were the "fathers" of this method. Newton took further and proved gravity. They developed a system of observation, reason, experiments and mathematical proof. This all lead to the Industrial Revolution.
