Chapter 16: Religion AND Science?!

Christianity achieved the goal of having a global presence in the world. I think that is still true today, however there are more choices and options for people. Around this time the scientific revolution began took the world with a different approach. However in the western part of the world tension existed between science and English. I believe people were still not used to science being such a huge part of regular life. I also believe that it made sense to the people who didn't want to believe it because of their religion. The early modern period allowed cultural transformation. It allowed people who were not close in distance to be connected through faith or belief in science. Science became almost a new religion for some people. It was a very important part of people’s lives. In the 1500's Christianity was limited to only Europe, but it eventually became global. I was interested in the divisions of Christianity as well. That has always interested me. Why did Christianity get divided into sects? Was there any deeper meaning behind the different sects? What was the reasoning behind the reason for dividing? I have so many questions on that topic. I had no knowledge of the fall of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453. It is always great to learn knowledge that one had no idea about. I figured most women would be attracted towards the idea of Protestantism due to a larger role in the church.
