The French Revolution

France was known as the most advanced country in Europe. They were separated in different classes or also known as estates. During the french revolution most of the population came from the third estate. Some of the types of people that came from the third estates were merchants or even farmers people that the king didn't really pay mind to. The third estate had to pay the most tax out of all the estates , even though they didn't have a lot of money. This really got the third estate mad because the nobles ,clergy didn't have to pay anything. But without the farmers the while feudal system would break down because the farmers do a lot of work. In France the third estate would be considered most rich because that is were all the population of France is in , the third estate.

John Locke and "The Enlighment"

John Locke had a modern outlook on life. He believed that everyone should be equal. So he came up with the natural rights. They were life , liberty and property.He was very concerned and believed that everyone should be treated equally because we are all humans. His arguments on this was so strong that Thomas Jefferson wrote about it in the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson had wrote about all men having the same rights from which they are born till they die.Also that god gave us the rights and no one can take them away. All the ideas from todays democracy had came from John Locke. He was one of the most important people in U.S history.

Copernicus and the trial of Galieo

Heliocentric is a theory that the sun is located at the center of the solar system. In the 16th century Copernicus made a mathematical model of a heliocentric system. Later on ended up defended by Galileo, making a big disagreement about it. Geocentric is a science where the earth is the center of the solar system and the other planets and the sun revolve around the earth.

The trial of Galileo was a very important trial because it was the trial against Galileo and the catholic church. The reason why he was put to the trial was because he was basically questioning the church. He was questioning them about , how he thinks that the earth did not sit in the center of the universe. He was sent to have house arrest , he was really lucky though because they were going to kill him. Galileo even had discovered a telescope in order to help prove his theory but it did not work.

Scientific Method

The scientific method is in which took place during the scientific revolution. During this time everyone would tryout each others theories to see if they were true. The scientific method is useful for everyday.The scientist attempts to make the influence of the scientist's outcome of an experiment smaller. They write hypothesis, observations. Using all the information for there experiment they produce a theory.

An example of the scientific method was when Aristotle believed that heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects. Later on a man named Galileo tested the theory. Supposedly he went to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped different stones of many weights to the ground. Aristotle was wrong, objects of different weights fall at the same speed.

Evolution vs. Creationism

Evolution is a process of formation or growth threw out time. Charles Darwin had created the theory of evolution. It indicated that all forms of life was related from common ancestors. Meaning that we had evolved.According to the theory we evolved in order to be able to survive buy using our surrounding's. Also known as natural selection. Natural selection is organisms that best adapt to their environment so they can be able to survive and use there characteristics to live. If you believe in evolution you believe that life was created on its own.

Creationism is the belief the creation of the universe and all living things are created by God. This was another way that a lot of people think that the world was created. This is the total opposite opinion on the way that the world was created.According to Genesis Chapter 1 the world was created in 7 days,they believe that life was originally created from Adam and Eve. The belief claims that existing things were called into being by God's command.

Many people have different opinions on whether life was created by evolution or creationism. My opinion is that life was created by creationism because I believe that God had created earth. I was taught that threw life. Even though Darwin's theory is backed up, i still think that we were all made for a purpose and that science should not be said as the cause of the beginning of the world or trying to over power the beliefs of religion.
