Ap Euro Dbq Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution between 1500 and 1700 led way to radical changes in people’s view of the universe and their place in it.

The secular views changed religion and the people apart of it, rulers affected the limitations of scientists politically, and heliocentric view changed how people were socially. Along with this new technology and methods of science and medicine were introduced. These advances helped kick start the profound medicine field that holds today in the world. While these were great advances,

Although scientist’s work can be displayed as factual, valid and relevant many religious, political, and social factors contributed to the work publishings of these scientists.
Religion and religious figures included the extent of scientist’s finding that where made public. A majority of this was due to the Catholic church’s belief in God. Science was a secular matter and did not involve God, which was a problem for the presently heavily religious Europeans. This also lead to the reason of why Catholics did not experience science until much after the Protestants did, due to their different beliefs. Gottfried Leibniz demonstrates this when he says that God was intended to better human life (doc 12). Catholics then believed God was the only source of creation in life, no other force could create and maintain objects. Connecting to the Scientific Revolution, this idea impacted the work of scientist and held them back from exploring who or what else may have created the Earth and all it beholds. Fearing that they would be shunned from the church for questioning the
