Chapter 15 - Cultural Transformations
Religion and Science
The Early Modern Era gave birth to two intersecting cultural trends: Spread of Christianity to Asians, Africans & Native Americans and Emergence of a modern scientific outlook which challenges Christianity. On page 644, the textbook talks about Christianity as a worldwide religion; specific parts in the Americas, Philippines, Siberia, China, Japan and India. Yet this religion isn't practiced in the Islamic World. Christianity was divided by two categories: Roman Catholic in Western & Central Europe and Eastern Orthodox in Eastern Europe & Russia. In addition, science became a new and competing branch of knowledge. "The long-term significance of the Scientific Revolution can hardly be overestimated." (pg.664)
Science Revolution was revolutionary because it fundamentally challenges the understanding of the universe. It was a series of events that marked and birth of modern science during the modern ear.
"The initial breakthrough in the Scientific Revolution came from the Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. He wrote and published his famous book titled On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres before his death in 1543, placed the sun at the center of the universe and argued that the Earth moved across "the heavens as one of the planets".
