Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method

People would gather their information and ideas about science according with what the ancient Romans and the ancient Greeks and what the bible said. These were their sources for questions they had about science. That didn't mean everything that was written was right. The ancient Greeks and Christians believe that the earth and all the planets revolved around the earth. But it was proven that that was wrong according to scientist and the involvement of scientific revolution.
People would believe whatever they wanted to believe but not all of it was proven. Thank god for the scientific revolution because it caused the ideas to be challenged and thought about even more carefully. Aristowas in the center of the universe but this statement was wrong. They believed that the sun tle thought that heavy objects fell quicker than lighter objects but thanks to Galileo he proved that this theory of Aristotle was wrong. Objects of different weight fall at the same time. There were also many other theories that were proven incorrect. Thanks to scientific revolution this has happened. Important scientist weren't afraid to speak out and retest these theories and that's what science should be about.
