How did the change impact society at the time?
Intellectually, the Scientific Revolution ushered in a new way of thinking, including the establishment of the Scientific Method.The Scientific Revolution can be said to have definitively improved the lives of all European intellectuals. The religious world, however, was in turmoil. The new focus on science led to discoveries that seemed to go against the bible, which was held to that point to be the literal word of god.
How is that change evidenced in today's modern society?
It changed peoples beliefs on how peoples perceived the universe and also there were many progressions with inventions and stuff of that source. But the scientific revolution made us question the bible and in the belief we had on god.We also use the scientific revolution by the new inventions we have in medicine and in biological tools like the telescope.
