Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

Scientific Revolution:
The scientific revolution is basically when people were discovering new ideas of science. Scientist had different theorys of how science worked. For example Issac Newton explained the law of gravity and how it worked. Aristotle was another scientist who had a theory. He said that heavier objects fell first and then the lighter objects fell. Galileo another proved him worng. He said that different size objects all fall at the same speed. Scientist would hear about theories and they would try to prove and disprove that there theroy actually worked. They used the scientific method in order for them to do that. They would do alot of experiments and obervations. Alot of scientist also believed that the earth is the center of the universe. After a while people started to find out that, that wasn't true.Alot of scientist got there ideas from the Romans and Greeks and also from the bible.
Experiment:
One example of an experiment that uses the scientific method is the one that Galileo did. Basically Aristotle said that heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects. Well Galileo decieded to prove him wronng. What he did was that he went to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and he started to throw rocks all of different sizes. He proved Aristotle wrong. All of the rocks fell at the same speed, it didn't matter if one was heavier then the other. This is an experiment thnat was conducted by Galileo that used the scientific method.

Evolution vs Creation

Evolution:
The Theory of evolution is basically that everything evolved from another thing. For example humans evolved from monkeys. Darwin went to this island and he saw finches. He went to another island and saw the same finches but they had different beaks. He then went to another island and saw that they also have different beak. That's when he first came up with the theory.Evolution is supposedly proven by scientist. That's how the first humans evolved and many other creatures in this world.

Creation:
The Theory of creation is basically that God created this universe. God made light, darkness, day and night. He also created the seas and the land. God created man and then he created woman. Which was basically Adam and Eve. They then reproduced and then they reproduced and that's how everything else came to be. God basically created a couple of things and once e made humans they were on there own after that.

My Belief:
I actually believe in creation not in evolution. To me creation makes way more sense then evolution. Maybe its because I am religious and i believe in God. Evolution to me honestly sounds pretty stupid because how can we evolve from other animals and such. Yes over time we change but it would take way too long for that to happen. Also something had to put that animal in this earth, so God had to create it. I don't know but to me creation makes way more sense.
