Chapter 16 Part 2
Christianity started in year zero in the Roman Empire. From there, it split between the West Europe to the Eastern Orthodox. Then in the West Europe there was a rift between Catholics and Protestants. the Scientific Revolution was now becoming a foothold in Europe which started with Ceperuicus in 1543. He stated that the earth wasn't the center of the universe but rather the sun was. He waited until after he died to publish his knowledge because he hadn't, then the church would probably make him recant what he wrote or said. And their method wasn't great either. Then, an Italian named Galileo developed the telescope to observe sunspots or blemishes that move across the sun. Then looking ahead, other great philosophers sought different things in life like Charles Darwin in discovering natural section and Karl Marx studying human history and struggling; also conflicting social classes.
