Something I found really interesting about this timeline was the conflict between scientific thinking and the Catholic Church. It’s interesting to see how resistant the Church was to new ways of logical thinking. For example, they did not accept Copernicus’ heliocentric solar system until roughly four hundred years after he released it. While this tension between science and religion has decreased in modern times, I do think there are still instances where the Church is reluctant to accept scientific logic, such as the case of evolution. The Catholic Church did not recognize evolution until 1950, about 100 years after it was discovered.
yeah, I agree, I am Muslim and we don’t believe that the big bang ever happened. our creation was due to adam and eve which were the first humans that have walked this earth. there was no evolution as well, we didn’t come from monkeys. we began as people.
what I found interesting about the scientific revolution was that the beliefs that they had were mainly religious based theories on the idea god isa main part of the world and how its works. Most sciences had relgoulis belfies meaning they probably thought god had to be a science of some sort. but ideas like that back then would get you killed.
I thought it was really cool how the chart shows the different accomplishments all the people up there did.
The scientific revolution timeline is really interesting. I think it’s fascinating to see the evolution of theories in that 200-year time frame and how it transformed what we may have believed back then prior to what was considered scientifically proven. The timeline also makes me wonder if we are only limited to our present beliefs by our current discoveries. Meaning, what if all our current thinking is relevant to a degree, but we have yet to discover other technology that would shift our science drastically like it did in that 200 year period. It could happen!
I find it intriguing that the relationship between scientific thinking and the catholic church caused a lot of chaos in early times and anyone who thought scientifically was considered an outcast or a lunatic.
