How did the change impact society at the time?
The scientific revolution changed the way that people thought about science instead of listening to the church. During this period many inventions were made to observe and study the universe. (Such as the telescope). Scientist started to find out new theories about the natural world even exposing new ideas that went against the church. Now, the people that who use to rely and praise the church are questioning everything the church does.
