//__** SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION 1543- late 17th century **__// The Science Revolution is a period when new ideas in physics, astronomy, biology, human anatomy, chemistry, and other sciences. The Catholic Church, who incorporated the teachings of ancient Greeks and Romans into their religious doctrine. Examples of these new changes are The replacement of the Earth by the Sun as the center of the solar system, explained the elliptical orbits of the planets, and an improved telescope. The renaissance enabled a scientific revolution which let scholars look at the world in a different light. Religion, superstition, and fear were replaced by reason and knowledge.

The lesson to take from the history of the scientific revolution is that the ideas of the17th century philosophers have the most impact in the context of the progress they made as an academic whole – as singular scientists, they became more prone to faulty logic and uncontrolled experimentation. For instance, non-scientific reasoning such as teleology continued to affect genius philosophers and scientists such as Descartes and Boyle, and today scientists are faced with the problem of intelligent design (teleology) being taught as the equivalent of peer-reviewed, substantiated evolutionary theory. Overall, modern scientists remain just as proneto the same problems as the 17th century philosophers and therefore might consider looking toward the legacy of the successes of the scientific revolution against the backward medieval philosophy for guidance. media type="file" key="Scientific Revolution.mp3"
