John Locke "The Enlightment"

What Thomas Jefferson means he wants everyone to have these specific right these are Life, BoldLiberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The government got its powers from principles and a good foundation.Most governments were absolute monarchies. This meant that the king had total control and the people had no rights. Thomas Jefferson was probably the most famous of the American Revolution.Jefferson was himself influenced by the ideas of John Locke. All we have to is compare Locke`s ideas about life liberty and the pursuit of property and Jefferson's idea is about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Another one of Locke`s ideas is that the government got its power from the people.This is an important idea of democracy in america up to today.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

Geocentic Theory came first. The Heilocentrism theory came out of the scientidic revolution.The heilocentrism is right because the earth is not in the center of the universe. the sun is. The galileo trial was basically he had to say he was wrong or else they would have to kill him. He believed in his ideas and the church believed in the bible thats basically why they didn't like him.

Heliocentric.The geocentric explanation of the solar system is that the Earth was the center of everything, and everything else revolves around it. Back in the day, this idea was popular among the Greeks and the Chinese. Philosophers also thought that the stars, sun, and planets circled the Earth in a perfectly circle motion.

The heliocentrism explanation of the solar system is that the Sun is the center of everything, and all the other planets revolve around it. The planets that circle the Sun circle the sun an an elliptical shape. Heliocentrism is the only correct explanation of our solar system. Nicoluas Copernicus mathematically proved the heliocentrism explanation of the solar system right. Johaness Kepler helped expand this idea. Heliocentrism was developed by the scientific revolution.Lots Of Religions are strongly against this theory becuase it conflicted with their religion. Today, almost everyone accepts this theory.

The Scientific Method

Scientists during the Scientific Revolution relied on the Scientific Method to gain knowledge and information. The Scientific Method is a procedure scientists used to discover new things about the world. The first thing you do to in a scientific method is making a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on observations. Many experiments use the scientific method.For instance Aristotle's theory was that heavier objects feel faster then lighter objects. For that to be proven correct took a couple of years.

Evolution VS Creation

Evolution is slow change and evolve changes throughout a long period of time. Charles Darwin came up with animals adapt to where they live.He believed that we evolved from primates.Evolution is like something changing over generations.Even if the traits are passed down by generation are mostly small.They start to change after a while.

If someone were to ask me if I believed in evolution or creation, it would be creation. Why? It's because I'm Muslim, and creation is part of my belief. My parents are Muslim too. Most of my friends are also Muslim. Here are some other reasons why I believe in creation.I believe in creation not just because God is God. It's because God has created everything we know, see, and cannot see in this world. He is the Creator and the very source of this world.

Well I think I'm going to go with Creation because you I do not believe in some guy that has a theory even if he researched and studied for years. you have a holy bible,Torah,Quran that is telling you everything straight up.Also it even has miracles that happened and signs that are happening today.So why would I Believe in a theory that some guy that believed we came from primates.Well This is just my opinion.Someone else might look at it in a different angle.
