Influences: After the the age of exploration, new truths and new research , indirectly brought about by the Columbian Exchange, challenged previous thought processes and studies.

  4. The Scientific Revolution Its Impact: *Scientists began to question ancient theories and the orthodox teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. *Scientists began using reason or logical reasoning instead of placing their beliefs in faith and demanding proof or evidence. *Ptolemy’s theory of planetary motion (geocentric theory) and church teachings were brought into question by Copernicus’s heliocentric theory.

  5. The Scientific Revolution Its Impact: (continued) *Galileo (Italian) offered support for Copernicus’s heliocentric theory with his experiments concerning the laws of motion and his study of space through a telescope. *Newton’s (English) laws of gravity furthered the laws of motion and continued the challenge on old theories. *Francis Bacon (English) came up with the major contribution of the period: the scientific method. This was a systematic way to find proof using reason. (question, hypothesis, experimentation, conclusion.

  6. The Scientific Revolution Its Conflict: *Scientific thought and traditional beliefs came into significant conflict. *New scientific theories and books also came into conflict with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. *The teachings of the church were based on faith and revelation. *The theories and findings of science were based empirical evidence. * Faith was being challenged by reason.
