The enlightment

The enlightment occured during the eighteenth century. It was the era that changed modern history. This era gave us the government, the way things are runned and done. Without the enlightment we would be in fights, chaos etc. Thanks to John Locke who influenced Benjamin Franklin to give out government ideas. Government gets its power from the people (or public) because without the people why would there be a government and they would be fighting for nothing.

Scientific revolution: The Trial of Galileo

The trial of Galileo was a major argument between the theories of the heliosetric theory and the geocetric theory. The geocetric theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe. The heliocetric theory states that the sun is the center of the universe. People back then believed in the geocetric theory especially the christians. Galileo was a astronomer who studied space. He used the scientific method to help him proove his theory about the sun being in the center and not the Earth. Back then it was like a law to believe stuff written on the bible and it was forbidden to go against it. Galileo knew he wasnt wrong so he stood up and stated the heliocetric theory. They thought he was crazy and threw him in jail but went to court. This trial was a big thing because Galileo ended up losing the trial even though he was right.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

Ancient Greeks and Romans and the bible gave the scholars the idea of science ever since the 1500's. Some people used the bible to find out answers to their scientific questions. Christians used to have the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe when it wasn't but scientific revolution disagreed with the idea and it was proven right but how did they do that? They used the scientific method to explain how the Earth wasn't the center of the universe.

Scientific method means to study and study and experiment a lot so that they can find out that their theory was right. Isaac Newton was one of the scientists that used the scientific method to approve or disprove theories.

Evolution VS. Creation

Evolution believes that everything was made due to evolution. Charles Darwin was the man who started to think about this theory. He believes that everything is related to each other and that because we all have a common ancestor. Everything evolved which is why a lot of stuff look different from other stuff. It all started when Darwin started to wonder why different kinds of birds in different places of the world have different types of beaks. He then came out with the conclusion that every bird is related its just that they look different because of their habitat. The thing wrong about evolution is that we couldn't have come from primates because now and days we don't see the primates from our time evolve into humans. Evolution is entirely based on science and not religion unlike creation.

Creation believes that every thing was made up because of god. The bible states how god made the Earth, land, light, ocean, people etc. People that believe in creation use the bible as evidence because it was written thousands of years ago. Creation states that god made the first male and female humans also known as Adam and Eve. They were the 1st humans in this planet made by god but the problem with this theory is that if Adam and Eve are brother and sister and they mate that means that their children wont come out right so there for then those children mate with each other to make more children etc. Technically all humans are related to each other, that's what creation believes. Creation is based on pure religion (Christianity) unlike evolution.

I believe, well since i am a christian i believe in creation. I go to church on Sundays. I believe in god creator of the universe and disagree with the idea of evolution. I believe that god made us and we are all here because of him.
