History:Scientific Revolution

     Astronomers like Galileo, who create the telescope, and Copernicus, who discovered the modern look of the solar system. Chemists also had groundbreaking discoveries as well. Robert Boyle was the first one to bottle a gas. Also, in medicine was beginning to improve. Andrea Vasalius, a surgeon who studied human dissection, influenced modern medicine and William Harvey discovered the circulatory system. The Roman Catholic Church did what ever it could to disprove these discoveries. They threaten to kill Galileo if he didn't disprove his discovery of the solar system. He ended up in prison. This article was written by a merchant from this time period. 

     People are saying that some thinkers are dissecting human bodies to learn more about it. They will surely be executed by the RCC. Though they are doing wrong in the eye of the Church I am intrigued by what they have discovered. They have found new ways to treat wounds and found systems in which the body uses to pass blood through the body. Also, the debate between the RCC and these thinkers, they call themselves scientists, is getting bigger and bigger. I don't believe the Church should be involved with this nonsense. They shouldn't kill for a reason like this. That's what they teach us, don't kill- I'm paraphrasing of course. But, scientists shouldn't bother the dead just because  their soul isn't there to make a decision for their body. Also they shouldn't be killing anyone either. I am intrigued by this debate, but would rather stay out off the topic. Although it's the only topic that seems to come up these days.
