explanations to certain phenomena.
 Humans also used religion to rationalize the
origins of life and all lifeless forms.
 The idea of scientific revolution is claimed to
have started in the early 16th century up to the 18th
century in Europe.

 Why in Europe?
 The answer is the invention of the printing
machine and the blooming intellectual activities
done in various places of learning, and the
growing number of scholars in various fields of
human interest.
WHAT IS SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION?
 Is the period of enlightenment when the
developments in the fields of mathematics,
physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry
transformed the views of the society about nature.
 It explained the emergence or birth of modern
science as a result of these developments from
the disciplines mentioned.
 The ideas generated during this period enabled
the people to reflect, rethink, and re-examine
their beliefs and their way of life.
 Scientific revolution was the golden age for
people committed to scholarly life in science but
it was also a deep trying moment to some
scientific individuals that led to their painful
death or condemnation from the religious
institutions who tried to preserve their faith,
religion, and theological views.
 Why did some rules and religious leaders did not
accept many of the works of scientist?

 Did it stopped the scientist from researching?
