Week 15 - Scientific Revolution

I really like how Steven Kreis compares our current world view to the midevial world view and I can see exactly what he's talking about. The way he describes it reminds me of the Aztecs and how they felt they needed to make sacrafices to the Sun God just so that the sun would come up every morning (I know I'm going way further back than he's describing, but the way he describes it, the "miracles" and that God is the one that makes sure the miracles kept happening, just reminded me so much of this). Where as now, our view is provable concepts. We have mathmatic calculations that prove gravity, we have explained why the sun comes up every morning.
