Scientific Revolution

In class last Friday we received a presentation about the Scientific Revolution. Before the revolution the church was the one with all the power. Even though there was king, the pope held power over him. The way people lived was according to the bible. Everything was wrapped around religion, one reason people looked towards the pope for wisdom was because they were the only literate people. They could read they had the largest education compared to other people. He sometimes even had more education than the king himself. The Scientific Revolution was a point in time after this when scientists such as Copernicus, Aristotle, Galileo, and others were bringing new ideas. All of a sudden the universe wasn't geocentric but heliocentric. There was something called gravity, that allowed us to come back to earth every time we jumped. People themselves then started reading the bible on their own. They weren't relying on others but instead they themselves tried answering question for themselves. The pope wasn't the only literate person, the king then started taking the power back by receiving education. The Scientific Revolution was a point in time where the church lost power to the king and we were learning about the world.
