  1. Homework • H.W. #3 due tomorrow

  2. Aim: How was thinking “revolutionized” during the Scientific Revolution? • Do Now: Take out the Galileo handout from yesterday.

  3. I. Isaac Newton • English scientist who creates the complete set of laws of motion = the creation of Physics. • Brought together the ideas of the scientists who came before him (Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo).

  4. I. Isaac Newton C. Newton’s findings a.Laws of Motion: Objects are always in motion b. Law of Gravity: Causes objects to fall to Earth & planets to revolve around the sun c. Laws of inertia 1. An object will remain in the same place until a force causes it to move 2. A moving object will continue to move until a force causes it to stop.

  5. I. Isaac Newton D. Why is Newton’s work important? a. Showed that there are universal laws in nature that humans can figure out. b. These laws make the universe measurable and predictable. The world is like a machine → No longer a mystery!

  6. II. Scientific Method Developed A. Presents a procedure for investigating why things happen, for gaining new knowledge and correcting previous knowledge.

  7. II. Scientific Method Developed B. Developed by European scientists 1. Francis Bacon (English lawyer) – Scientists should use empiricism (observe the world, gather data, and draw conclusions). 2. Rene Descartes (French mathematician) – Use your own logic and reason to understand the natural world (“I think, therefore I am”). Data (Bacon) + Reason (Descartes) } Scientific Method!

  8. Concluding Questions • How were the ideas of Newton, Bacon and Descartes different from the teachings of the 17th century Church we discussed yesterday? • Can you think of any other subjects where religion and science have disagreed? • Ultimately, do you believe religion and science can ever go together? Does a person have to choose one over the other? Explain.
