CH 16 Religion AND Science.

Chapter 16 is about religion and science, it wasnt founded on the muslim beliefs and evolution, many believe this is true, this chapter wants us to believe it was founded on christianity. europeans were the central people in the globalization of christianity and the emergence of science. they worked with each other and didnt act alone in the mdoern era. Asians, Africans and natives were the ones who would determine how it would be accepted or rejected. Christianity was limited to europe at the beg of the modern era, it spread from spain and england in the west to russia. During the 16th century the protestant reformation ended the unity of the catholic church, the roman catholic christianity for the past 1000 years had provided the cultural foundation of western european civilization. Women were attracted to the protestant reformation teachings and practices but it didnt offer them a greater role in the church or in society. in protestant areas it lead Christ a male the sole person who we need to worship, mary, and women saints ended. Dividing the churches led to a horrible political system it led to a difference in political views. the french society was torn. In 1545 it led to a catholic counter refomation. Science and enlightenment, what is enlightenment, It is a mans emerhence from his self imposed... inability to use ones own understanding without anothers guidance. this is according to Immanel Kant. Decision makers where individuals as agents. The famous english philisopher john locke offered principles for constructing a constitutional government.
Not all of the conflict was between chuch and science, none of thwe early scientists rejected Christianity, galileo procalimed the compalibilty of science and faith. There has been a lot of discussion about this topic in all of my political science classes. We all need to know where the catholic church started and why science came into religion.
