Robespierre and The Reign of Terror

The Reign of terror was a period in France when everything fell apart. There was no order or laws in place that helped the community. People were being accused of keeping the food to themselves and helping out the enemies. All some one had to do is point a finger and say the crime and they were in proson awaiting execution. Max Robespierre was a important influence in the Reign of Terror. He was the type of person to make a bloody fight even more dangerous by giving the people what they wanted and in this case: Death. The Reign of Terror happened because the peasants and all the people of France were afraid of enemies from the inside and the outside. The executions were carried out by the guillotine which is basically a huge knife at the top meant to chop people's head off.

The French Revolution: The Social Causes

The three estates were the First estate (clergy), second estate (The nobility) and finally the third estate (middle class and peasants). The clergy and the nobility only occupied a small part of France but the peasants occupied maybe more than 95% of France. The third estate even though it is bigger, was getting a bad treatment. The voting system was one vote per estate. When ever something favored the Clergy or nobility and not the middle class, the clergy always doubled team the middle class.Enlightment thinkers influenced the french Revolution by makinng its force stronger with words. The event that tiggered the French Revolution was when the middle class took over a Bastille which is a prison and ammunitions hideout. Also the peasants also in the country went and killed the people that lived in the manors.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

In ancient greece people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and all the planets revolved around the earth. This theory was called the geocentric theory. Many greek philosophers and famous ones too such as Aristole believed that the earth is the center of the universe. Aristole made a model showing the earth in the middle from Eudoxus's Model and called The Aristotellian system. he connected 56 spheres to earth to show one for each planet.The geocentric theory came first.
Heliocentricism is the complete opposite of geocentric theory. This theory states that the planets and the earth revolved around the sun.The founders of this statement were Copernicus.People in those days didn't like being wrong and wanted to shutCopernicus up so they said that heliocentrism is aganist every religon in europe. Galileo took up Copernicus's work after he died and because of this he was put on trial. Galileo was then forced to reject the teachings of Copernicus and was exiled from the church for the rest of his life.

Scientific Revolution:Scientific Method

Scientific Method is a way that scientists in the 1500's used to prove theory's wrong or right.The scientific method aims to prove something over 4 steps:1.Pick a problem 2.Come up with a theory or hypothesis 3.Test out your hypothesis 4.Record your results and change your hypothesis to suit the results. Scientific method is also used to take away one's perspective from a object by putting it through a series of test. Scientific method is used to disprove something more than prove somthing. An example of scientific method used to disprove something would be Aistotle theory of the earth being the center of the universe.

Evolution Vs. Creation

Evolution is when complex organisms evolve from simple organisms. Many don't make because of natural selection. Nartural selection is when a certain group have a advantage over everybody else. The natural selection then went from the parents to the offspring and the traits were even stronger in the offspring. Darwin explained that natural selection had 5 important componets to it. If one componet was to be missing , everything would be broken down.
Creation is the opposing theory to evolution .Evolution agrues that it evolved from simple organisms and creation is that god created them the way they are. Christians and Mulisms all believe that god created them the way they are.Evolution was outlawed in the 1930's in schools and creationism took its place.Creationism teaches us that God made Adam and Eve. From those two we were created and in turn we are all related somehow and in that lies the flaw.
