How did a shift in thinking about the natural world during the Renaissance contribute to the start of the Scientific Revolution? Renaissance thinkers shifted from an emphasis on Latin to Greek. Scientists shifted from thinking about the world to trying to understand how it functioned.(Correct answer) In the Middle Ages, scientists began to understand God as more of an observer. Europeans shifted from thinking about how lands should be conquered to how they should be ordered. How did the Renaissance rediscovery of the work of Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy help start the Scientific Revolution? Ptolemy's system no longer seemed to work with what scientists were observing, and scientists began to look for other theories.(Correct answer) Scientists were forbidden to read Ptolemy. Scientists wanted to prove that Ptolemy's theory of the universe was correct. Scientists discovered new writing by Ptolemy. Why did the Church seek to silence Galileo? Galileo's observations changed the way we measure space and threatened Church territorial holdings. Galileo's observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe.(Correct answer) Galileo's observations threatened the control the Church had over moral authority. Galileo's observations threatened the Church's role in proselytizing in the New World. How did Copernicus's work challenge the accepted view of the universe? He believed that Ptolemy's work was completely wrong. He knew that the planets revolved, but he did not believe they revolved around the earth.(Correct answer) He wanted to prove that God created the universe and science was not involved. He thought that the universe had changed since Ptolemy's theory. Francis Bacon created a new way of scientific thinking called inductive reasoning. How was this different from the deductive reasoning of earlier eras? Scientists had to be inducted into a society in order to conduct experiments. Scientists no longer had to prove their ideas. Scientists now gathered information and facts before creating a theory.(Correct Answer) Inductive reasoning was faster and easier than deductive reasoning. How did Descartes and Kepler contribute to the new scientific thinking? They showed how mathematics and measurement could be used in scientific investigation.(Correct Answer) They proved that science and mathematics were two separate areas of study. They determined that scientists had to study mathematics before they could study anything else. They proved that it was impossible to use mathematics in astronomy. What contribution to modern science was made by Andreas Vesalius? He created a vaccination that helped reduce the death rate across Europe in the 16th century. He published On the Structure of the Human Body which became the foundation of modern anatomy.(Correct Answer) He is considered to be the founder of physiology due to his extensive research on circulation. He wrote public letters condemning the Church for its non-acceptance of early scientific thought. I Did Not Do All The Questions just the ones I got right.
