The Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution altered ideas about the place of humankind. They began to challenge the ideas of the church. Even though religion today is seen as something good because it is helpful for everyone. At the beginning of the Scientific Revolution the science wanted to legitimize racial and gender inequalities, by defining people of color and women being inferior. It seemed unfair that they would classify people. The Enlightenment thinking was directed against the superstition, ignorance, and corruption of established religion. I agree with the idea that the church was corrupted and many of the things that were being told to the people was to control them.
