How did the scientific revolution change the way europeans viewed the universe and the place of human being in it
matrenka [14]

The Scientific Revolution marked the emerge of modern science towards the end of the Renaissance through the end of the 18th century, influencing the Enlightenment.

With its advances in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics, the Scientific Revolution put doubt in many of the Church's statements. This is why most Europeans feared and rejected the Revolution, as it posed a threat to what they believed in.

Even when most of the population refused to accept the changes in their cosmovision at the beginning, modern science made its way through society and started to enlighten the ones that were more open to it.
