When the Scientific revolution came about, the Catholic church felt as though their power was being threatened. They thought that this would be the beginning of many people turning away from God as well as turning away from their church and in some respects they were right. However, what they and others that began to turn away from God to look to science didn’t understand was that science and the Bible were not mutually exclusive. If they cared to open the Word of God and diligently study it, they would’ve known things like the Earth being round and that it rotates. Many deaths would’ve been prevented had they adhered to the Bible’s description of sanitation, quarantine, healing disease, and treating wounds. God does not condemn science; He is science.
