John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

John Locke was the man , that influenced Thomas Jefferson to make up and write a few parts of the declaration of independence. He had a way of looking at life, with a whole lot of freedom for everyone. He influenced the rights for the people to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He influenced them to never let no one go and take their dream away and thought that everyone should be treated equally. If the government ever becomes destructive it is the peoples rights to make it come to its end, and make a new form of government. They are deriving their powers from the consent of the governed, and that its men's duty to control and keep balanced.John Locke was a very big influence to the declaration of independence.

copernicus and the trail of galileo

well heliocentric means that the Sun is at the center of the solar system , it is a theory. While geocentric tis a theory that the earth is the center of the universe and that other planets or in this case the sun or in the corner. The Geocentry was the first theory ,and heliocentry came out of the scientific revolution.

The trail of galileo, was a very contreversiol dispute between him and the catholic church. He was forced to kneel down infront of the Inquisition and lie about believeing in his new theory of the solar system, he was about to get killed. He was lucky to not recieve that punishment,and was just held in house arrest.

Scientific Revolution :Scientific Method

The scientific method is a method discovered during the scientific revolution. Before 1500, many scientists in that era and many peaople used the bible for thier answers and they also used late scaientists theories too. Aristotle, the great scietist at that time was the person that would use arguements and observations to prove thier answers and experiments, and many people belived him, until two other scientist later on , proved his theries wrong. Now a days the scientific methos is used for many reasons, not even in the science department, but in real life situations. The scientific method doesnt just prove things but it makes true facts and you can be more confident about your results.

The scientific method is all used to prove your hypothesis right. Thier are procedure in which you must follw or make to prove your hypothesis, you may need to list your materials for later uses. You can observe your experemint, and write down and analyze any givin information and result, you may use graphs and charts etc, all to prove your hypothesis.After all is said and done you may look at ypur results and find out if you were right, and if not, theres always going back and doing it all over again.

Evolution vs Creation

Charles Darwin had developed a theory consisting that all living things had evolved from a common ancestor. This thoery is called Darwins Thoery of Evolution, it is belived that all living things has changed due to climate , environment, and try to adapt to new habbitats and new abilitys. This is called Natural Selection , natural selection is a sort of test that is givin to all living forms to see if they adapt to new environments. Some living forms go extinct because of Natural Selection other adapt new abilitys and then again mutate and evolve to new species. Basically the theory explains that evolution is the cause of all living species and forms, and that life was made on its own , all due to mutations and natural selection.

Creationism is belived to be the main cause of all living things in the world, the seas, the animals, people etc. It is belived that the world was built and made in seven days, this leaving sunday the final day , which is set to be the day where god has rested . As well the main cause of all retail stores and shops to be closed on sunday , and as well mass. Due to religious controversies many people dont belive this and go on to belive everything started with evolution.Basically creationism is set to belive that god made everything and is the reason of everything in life.

I beilve in Creationism because of my religion, I am roman catholic, and i believe God made all living forms in earth, and our first ancestors are adam and eve. I believe god made us in seven days, and it all adds upas well, the bible backs up creation as well.
Evolution is just a theory , yes it is true all living forms have been changed and mutated, but they were brought here by god, and only him.
