Scietific Revolution

     During the scientific revolution how did people change the way they thought about nature?  Why are these changes difficult for the Roman Catholic Church and other traditional scholars to except?  Throughout this time. Many different things were discovered to improve the way science went about. These things included the scientific method which is a method that categorizes science. The order to this method is to first state the problem, then gather information, next form a hypothesis, then experiment, record and analyze your data, state your conclusion and finally repeat all the steps.  Robert Boyle was one of the first to use the scientific method, he used this method by making observations.  Scientist such as Copernicus and Galileo used astronomy in their discoveries. They studied the sky to figure out how our solar system works.  Galileo created the telescope to observe the sky.  The theories that he made were different from what the Roman Catholic Church told people. Since he was disagreeing with the church he was found guilty of heresy and was punished.  The church acted in such a strict way because they felt threatened. They had to make an example of him so others wouldn’t try to challenge church like he did. They need people to believe that the church had all power and other people can't take control over what the society should believe.  The church also disliked Leonardo Da Vinci because of the way he worked.  Leonardo dissected human corpses to study the anatomy of bodies. The church didn’t find it right that he dissected these bodies.They were very controlling and strict and did not approve of most actions.  Robert Boyle was one of the men who wasn’t hated by the church.  Along with using the scientific method he also founded modern chemistry. He was even the first to bottle gases which was a huge discovery.  Even though most of these discoveries were not approved, they were still accepted by other citizens in Europe.

     Hello, I am a devoted Catholic and I'm just hearing about the discoveries of Da Vinci, Salluce, and Harvey. In my opinion dissecting bodies is a good idea. It's the only way to really know what goes on in the human body. The Roman Catholic Church doesn't have the right to deny the ways that scientist go about their discoveries. They sometimes get a little too strict in my opinion. Even though I am devoted to their religion and I am a Catholic, I still disagree with the way the Church handles the scientist in Europe.  Dissecting bodies is helping the scientific community.  The church is getting too powerful these days, I know I should not be saying stuff like this but it is my true opinion. Scientist should have the right to experiment the way that they need to.
