A Brief Biography of Sir Francis Bacon Essay
Francis Bacon was born on January 2nd, 1561, in the city of London, England. Bacon was educated at home in his early years due to poor
health. He received tuition from an Oxford graduate and by the age of 12, he entered Trinity College in Cambridge. For three years, he lived
with his older brother Anthony Bacon. Bacon's education followed curriculum of the medieval ages and was directed largely in Latin. He first
met Queen Elizabeth at Cambridge, who was impressed by his intellectual characteristics and called him The Young Lord Keeper. A year after
he enrolled at Gray's Inn, Bacon left school to work under the British ambassador of France. Two and a half years later, he had to abandon his
mission and return to England because of his...show more content...
He supposed that justified science was compatible with religious faith. Bacon felt that God had raised man to find and discern the ordinance
and official orders the natural world. He believed that the natural world posed a challenge for man, invested with intellect by God, to
discover its secrets. He was afraid that gaining too much knowledge would cause one to become excessive with their pride, causing a change
in one's religious devotion. He also felt that scientific investigation caused the suspicion of religious faith to be reduced, or even disappear.
Bacon truly believed that religion was just a religious lifestyle, and that religion and science as one were vital for man, but in different ways
and purposes. He explained how science is a path one should choose to become closer to God, and thought of science as something that is part of
a true, devout religious lifestyle. Bacon often frowned upon these religious lifestyles because of his devout ways of concluding the facts and
religious interpretations. Bacon used inductive reasoning to show his interpretation of nature and how the scientific facts discovered could help
explain how the natural world worked, while religion, on the other hand, was thought of as a simplified aspect of life that could not be proven
through induction. While Francis Bacon truly influenced both the scientific and religious values, even up to this day, his philosophical thinking
has impacted the way we view the world.
