After the French Revolution

The reign for terror was a time in which the Europeans, saw the French and feared that a similar result would happen. They were constantly spying on the French and observing your country. The country of France was trying to change for the better, but democracy came by after all this fighting. This fighting ended with a lot of people being killed by the guillotine. In order to execute soemone, they had to parade thwe person for about an hour and a half, around the city streets. They then put your head on a spot and cranked up the blade. When the blade got to the top, they let go, and the blade fell. They head was severed off of the body. There was a man named Maximilien Robespierre, who was a great leader and a disciple of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He ended up creating a law that said that there didn't need to be witness's to be sent to death. Before he died 1,285 people were executed by the guillotine. He believed in a Supreme being, who wasn't God, but a radical Democrat. He would be charged with Dictatorship, Tyranny, ands the conspiracy to against the Republic. He would executed on June 17, 1789.

French Revolution

The French Revolution lasted 10 years as the struggle between the poor and the rich. The rich was being taxed almost nothing and the poor was being taxed the most. The poor were even voted against because the Clergy and the Nobles always voted against the third estate. The third estate got so angry, that they revolted and ended up taking a prison called the Bastille. They then took the King Louis XV1 and held him in Paris. He would no longer be away from Paris because he used to live in Versailles. A couple of years later, he was killed by the gulliatine.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The difference between the Heliocentric and the geocentric is what each one revolves around. The Heliocentric theory is that all the planets revolve around a giant ball of plasma called a sun. The sun keeps everything rotating to prevent it from going away. The geocentric belief was that all planets and the sun revolve around the earth. The Earth is the planet that keeps everything going. They thought this because thew sun moves around but it looks like the sun moves with the earth and changes, and the planets are always moving. The church thought that for years that everything revolved around the earth but Copernicus was the one to think differently and proposed the heliocentric theory.

The trial of Galileo was supposed to show that all the people had to agree with the Church. Galileo's book was to precise when it comes the fact that the Earth revolves around the sun rather then the accepted tradition of the Sun and the other planets revolving around the Earth. Galileo ended up saying that he apologized that he was lieing to the people about how the planets revolved around the sun, but instead revolved around the Earth. After the trial, he was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life, this was when he tried new experiments.

Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method

Around the 1500, a lot of scholars believed that the ancient Greeks and Romans had great technology. They followed the exact methods of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The other way that they got scientific research and ideas was from the bible. It was a common theory that the sun and the planets revolve around the earth. Since, there is scientific revolution, we know that these facts aren't true.

An Italian man named Galileo invented the scientific method by getting to different sized stones and dropped them from the leaning tower of Pisa and then he noticed that they dropped at the same speed, this disproved Aristotle's theory. This then became excepted as the idea to base research on. These scientist's didn't just leave theories, they tested these theories to see if they were right. There was even a man named Isac Newton, and he tested Gravity and his theories still remain amongst our theories today.

There are four parts to the scientific method and they are, The first is Observing, the second is creating a Hypothesis, the third is Make prediction, the fourth is Testing the predictions. Observations are really good when it comes to finding out something to test. Creating a Hypothesis is easy because it is seeing what you want to accomplish when you are testing. The prediction is the outcome that you think will happen. The last one requires time and the materials to preform the test and see weather or not the prediction was true or was it different.

Creation vs Evolution

Evolution is the idea that every single living being has been progressing to adapt to the environment and to become different over time. Men originally were primates but as time went on, we evolved to be more intelligent and the humans we are now. This creates mutations to all the organisms, which is called natural selection. The living in which all animals and creatures compete to survive is called the survival of the fittest. Charles Darwin was the main guy in the creation of the theory of evolution.

Creation is the theory that God created every single thing on Earth and created the universe. This says that god, or a deity created the Earth. This is based on the book called the Genesis. In the old times, this was widely excepted and if you didn't agree with this concept, you were deemed a satanist and most likely banned from the town. Most religious authorities and believers of that religion agree with this theory. The church was the founder of this theory.
