As I read about the different scientists I was remind of the on going conflict between science and religion. It seems we can only have one or the other. A friend of mine was commenting that it takes faith to believe in science. Every individual hasn't done experiments to prove every scientific theory. We trust other that have come before. So really there is a connection between science and religion. Really faith can be connected to many things.
It seems to me that the flood gates opened after the reformation and many individuals became inspired. They started to look at things differently and make discoveries. I don't think that is a coincidence.

The Catholic Church Approves This Message

The Catholic church didn't sound like a big supporter of science. I wonder when they accepted the sun as the center of the universe. There must have been a time when they realized they were wrong. There is evidence proving the earth revolves around the sun. They may not have supported science but the church did support the arts thank goodness.

In my art history class we talked about how Michelangelo felt he was given the job to paint the Sistine Chapel because they wanted to prove that he wasn't a very good painter. He was determined to prove he was an accomplished painter. I think he was successful. The pictures I've seen of his paintings are amazing.
