Ch. 9 Sec. 2 Scientific Revolution
- 1. The Age of Reason • The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe are called the Age of Reason – Many believed that reason could replace faith in the Bible – Emphasis on man’s ability often turned people away from the Creator
- 2. Contributions from the Past
- 3. Hippocrates • Father of Medicine • Rejected notion that disease was a supernatural punishment by the gods
- 4. Hippocrates
- 5. Hippocratic Oath (original) I will prescribe regiments for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary (device) to cause an abortion.
- 6. In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art…but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
- 7. Euclid • Father of Geometry • Founded a school of Mathematics • His textbook, Elements, formed the basis for all geometry textbooks
- 8. Euclid
- 9. Eratosthenes • Determined the distance around the earth • Devised the lines of latitude and longitude found on maps today.
- 10. Albert the Great • A Dominican friar • Played an important role in introducing Muslim documents to medieval universities
- 11. Albert the Great
- 12. Roger Bacon • Made significant contributions in the areas of physics, geography and optics
- 13. Roger Bacon
- 14. • Medieval science came to a sudden halt with the appearance of the Black Death • During the Renaissance, tradition was replaced with observations – Scientists experimented, recorded findings, and reached conclusions
- 15. Copernicus (koh PUR nuh kus) • He believed that the earth revolved around the sun, not the sun around the earth.
- 16. Copernicus
- 17. Galileo Galilei • Used the telescope to support Copernicus’s ideas
- 18. Galileo Galilei
- 19. • People were scared of Copernicus and Galileo’s findings. – If they were right, the Bible must be wrong because is says that the sun appears to move through the heavens – Also if the earth, man’s home, is not at the center of the universe, then perhaps man is not important in this world.
- 20. Sir Isaac Newton • Discovered the laws of gravity and motion • Developed an advanced form of calculus • Invented the reflecting telescope
- 21. Sir Isaac Newton
- 22. Edmond Halley • Recorded the position and motion of hundreds of stars. • Developed theory about the orbit of comets
- 23. Edmond Halley
- 25. Sir William Herschel • Discovered the planet Uranus • Built a massive forty-foot long telescope
- 27. Paracelsus • Stated the body was mostly chemicals and should be treated with chemicals
- 28. Paracelsus
- 29. Andreas Vesalius • Developed his work on anatomy by dissecting human bodies
- 30. Andreas Vesalius
- 32. William Harvey • Discovered that blood is pumped by the heart and travels through the body in blood vessels
- 33. William Harvey
- 34. Edward Jenner • Discovered a way to prevent people from getting smallpox through a vaccine
- 35. Edward Jenner
- 37. Robert Boyle • Contributed to Chemistry with his work with gases • He was a Christian who lectured in defense of Christianity
- 38. Robert Boyle
- 39. Antoine Lavoisier • Father of Modern Chemistry • Named Oxygen and Hydrogen • Formulated the law of conservation of matter – matter cannot be created or destroyed, rather, it can only change form • Assembled the first known list of elements
- 41. Three mathematical improvements 1. Use of Arabic numbers 2. The decimal point 3. Mathematical notation Five thousand, three hundred seventy five plus ten thousand, six hundred fifty three
- 42. Ch. 9 Sec. 2 Discussion Question 1. What is the significance of Jenner’s discovery for you personally?
Editor's Notes
- Based on the ability to think clearly and logically
- Including those used today.
- Used the math of Euclid
- Genesis 15:12
- Halley accurately predicted that a comet which appeared in 1682 would return to our solar system seventy-six years later. This comet was later named Halley's comet
- Could use it to see the moons around Saturn
- Vesalius's Fabrica contained many intricately detailed drawings of human dissections, often in allegorical poses.
- Vaccine – weakened form of a similar disease called cowpox…his research led to the practical elimination of this disease
- Before they would write out all numbers
