John Locke one of Britain's old philosophers. Known as one of the "Enlightenment Thinkers" john was widely known as well as a very influential figure to many revolutions. His ideas were so great that it was set as laws in our constitution. The deceleration of independence was a set of rules or standards that our forefathers had lane so we can continue in a peaceful government.

Most of Locke's work consisted about identity, study of "the self" and the theory of a consciousness was all explained by Locke. He also theorized that people were born with no intelligence and configured the idea of nurture vs nature. No dough Locke has layed one of mankind's most important finds, the ideas of them selves and a start of a line of many philosophers as well as scientists who were inspired by his work.

Copernicus and the trial of Galieo

The Scientific Revolution

During the middle age which is during 500AD-1350AD the catholic church hides most Greek and Roman scientific belief and teaches their followers only on a religious state. The innocuous people start to finally find science and become more intelligent. The second period to the revolution increases during the Renaissance people started to study about humanism. Which lead the RCC(Roman Catholic Church) to go against most of their followers and loose half of them in the process. Martin Luther starts a revolt against the RCC, showing how the RCC sells indulgences. Then after that during the 16th century a fight between botany and anatomy starts. Soon scientist started thinking about unexplainable things and how the didnt seem true anymore. This lead on to the 18th century and thus the change of the global mindset during the 16th century to 18th century was called the scientific revolution. Copernicus was technically the start of the revolution and now we have proof for most of the things we know.

Nicolaus Copernicus
was the first astronomer to come up with the theory of a heliocentric universe. This theory talks about how the sun(instead of the earth) is in the center of the universe where everything else revolves around it because of its massive mass. Its gravitational pull is greater than that of any other object in the milky way since it is the biggest substance in the universe. Since ever object has its own gravitational pull something bigger always pulls the smaller substance to it, but everything in the earth does have its own gravitational pull but the earth has its own pull where everything else on its radiance revolves and is pulled by it.

Galileo Trial/Affair
The RCC commends heresy on Galileo because of his support to Copernicus's theory heliocentric. After observing through his telescope the proofs and faults of all the accusations, Galileo starts supporting heliocentric and soon becomes contradicted by the church. Since geocentric was a popular and most known theory, when people find that the earth does move they become astonished. Galileo was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life, where he continues his work and passed it on to his pupil. A book was soon wrote about Galileo and after that a reasearch academy was named after him, which made him very known.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method
















picture found in phdcomics.com (i just thought the picture was amusing).


THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
The scientific method is a process that a scientist uses to test something. This strategy is used my scientists as a structural way to correctly experiment something. This is a way to investigate something you have a theory on but are not quite sure, using this method will clearly make you understand and if used correctly you can easily backtrack and have evidence on every detail of the experiment, as well as why and how and the answer.
The proper steps to the method:
-First ask a question
How will you know what your experimenting if you haven't come up with exact questions to see what you need to focus on finding?
-Second you need to now do background research
Well now you need to know what you are up against. Research and find somethings to start your experiment. Find out how you will start your experiment and figure out what you need and what you need to do.
-Third of coarse you need to lay down a hypothesis
Well now that you know your experiment and have an idea on what will most probably happen you need to write down what YOU think will happen. Get the practice of including this as a personal goal of learning from your background knowledge.
-Now test the experiment and the hypothesis
Ok now your getting somewhere, this is the fun part with the explosions. Get what you need to start your experiment and try and note the process of the experiment every step of the way and don't forget to have more then one subjects to the experiment because if one fails you will have another one to see if each other were done correctly.
-Analyze the data
The second to last step is to gather everything, including backtracking and use all of the data to make a conclusion.
-Finally you check and see if your hypothesis is correct
At last you see if you have guessed the result correctly, if so then don't worry the experiment was not a waste of time, now you know for sure the results and you also know how to test it as well as have all the collected data to back up your result.

A example of using the method:
When creators of a flavor mixing and creating company which mostly contributes to modern candy making companies make the flavor they need they always have to use the scientific method. The creators first think of a title for the new flavor and think of what kind to create as well as for who. They then think of how it will taste and attract customers for their funding company as a hypothesis. After that they will see how much trans fat will go into it and nutrition facts as well as search ingredients to get the flavor. Now they would mix and create a sample of the subject. The final test is taste, strength ,coloring ,form(liquid or powder or ect.) and fixation of the product. After getting a good grade-a matierial sample they will send to a mass producing factory and VOA-LA you have a new flavor ice cream, or candy, or even a new burger.

Evolution vs Creation
















found in>>>>>http://krmenxa.deviantart.com/<<<<<
Evolution Theory

The theory of evolution is every living thing adapts and mutates to its surrounding changes and turns into a new species. Mostly everyone who is looking for a explanation to the past and has belief in logic believes in this theory. The fact that it is proven because of adaptation and remains of fossilized remains of animals that have evolved. Scientists also have found remains of prime apes that have almost the same bone structure as humans. The theory is the only lead we have which is explainable about humanities past. This theory was indirectly found by Charles Darwin, because he was the first one to prove evolution but he never enlisted human and ape evolution in his work. Even that said its what we choose to believe.

Creation Theory
The creation theory is religious belief that every thing we know that exists was and has been created by god(the creator). The theory in most popular religions is that man was created by god. The theory suggests in old religious books that Adam(in Arabic: mankind) and Eve(in Hebrew: the living one, as well as it means the mother of all living things) were the first woman and man to be created by god. Genesis(the story of Adam and eve) shows us that god makes The Garden of Eden in which he places the first man and woman in. The story then tells about how a Serpent was created and makes Adam and eve eat the fruit from the forbidden tree in the garden. God eventually gets angry and throws them out of the garden. Then Adam and Eve reproduces. Then starts a chain of creation where mankind starts growing

My Opinion
I personally don't care about the past because what has been done was a long time ago and which does not effect me in a very immense way, but if i would chose something to believe i would believe in Atheism(belief in no particular religion). See i do not support the theory of evolution and i also think that 40% of the world believes in evolution, 40% believe in creation and 20% now believe in other religious ideals including atheism. The thing is i really cant believe creation even though as living in a Muslim family i choose to follow my religion but not believe in it. I think that it really doesn't matter what you believe in just spending some quality time with others even if they have their beliefs matters more. We are here now and that's what matters to me. As well as the theory of evolution was proven it can not be helped if many species look similar, some may not be related at all even by ancestor and some may. So it doesnt completley explain, its just what it proclaims, it is a "theory".
This is only a opinion you are free to disagree or agree with me.
