January 29 strayer, chapter 15
"While some europeans were actively attempting to spread the christian faith to distant corners of the world, others were nurturing an understanding of the cosmos at least partially at odds with traditional Christian teaching. These were the makers of Europes scientific revolution, a last intellectual and cultural transformation that took place between the mid sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries. These men of science would no longer rely on the external authority of the Bible, the church, the speculations of ancient philosophers, or the received wisdom of culture traditon. for them knowledge would be acquired through rational inquiry based on evidence, the product of human minds alone. those who created this revolution Copernicus from Poland and Galileo from Italy, Descartes from France, newton from England, and many others saw themselves as departing radically from older ways of thinking".
"The old rubbish must be thrown away, wrote a seventeenth century English scientist. these are the days that must lay a new foundation of a more magnificent philosophy. The long term significance of the scientific revoultion can hardly be overstimated. within early modern Europe, it fudamentally altered ideas about the place of humankind within the cosomos and sharply challenged both the teachings and the authority of the church. Over the past several centuries, it has substantially eroded religious belief and practice in the west, particulary among the well educated. when applied to the affairs of human society, scientifi ways of thinking challged ancient social hierarchis and political systems and played a role in the revolutionary upheavals of the modern era". Once again I wrote this off all from the history book from our history class because I have better memory to when I am typing to what I'm reading so I can remember it much easier and faster.
So what I can recall from this chapter was on how some peoples belief started to change and on how some people started to think differently then from the group they came from. They started to question religion and its ways on how it is. There was if anything a scientific revolution I believe from this chapter that started everything and also made people question their believes. If the people turned away from god I think they would be killed if I am recalling correctly on with everything happening in this chapter. It was a good change for their economy and world.
