She Blinded Me With Science by Justin Kuykendall https://padlet.com/j32345/oa35km887pfg Made with a wish on a star en-us 2018-04-04 16:49:31 UTC 2025-10-27 02:28:19 UTC hello@padlet.com What are David Christian’s rules of collective learning? v33015 https://padlet.com/j32345/oa35km887pfg/wish/248584477 -Collective learning increases when more people are connected. 
-Collective learning increases when there is greater diversity within a network.
-Uneven distributions of information produce uneven distributions of 
power and wealth.

This reinforces Christian’s “Rule 3” of collective learning: the unequal distribution of information and knowledge led to unequal development around the world. The European Scientific Revolution is certainly a case where the collection and formation of new knowledge led to an unequal distribution of power in the centuries that followed".]]> 2018-04-04 16:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/j32345/oa35km887pfg/wish/248584581 What are the steps that made the “Scientific Revolution” more of a revolution of thought processes rather than just a discovery of more scientific information? v33015 https://padlet.com/j32345/oa35km887pfg/wish/248584658 1. Read and discuss different theories about a phenomenon 
(for example, whether the Sun is the center of the Universe or not).
2. Draw on different sources of evidence from past philosophers 
or scientists to formulate one’s own theory or hypothesis.
3. Conduct experimentation to observe the phenomenon.
4.Draw conclusions based on all of this evidence.

on Earth. He says that he started by looking at “traditional mathematical doctrine” to see how math explained the rotation pattern of the planets (“heavenly bodies”). It’s interesting that he mentions God, the “most perfect Architect,” as the one who “made” the Universe. So he’s not really considering how the Universe came to be, just how it functions, or how the planets and stars operate in relation to one another. He states that he then read through all the philosophers he could find who wrote about the pattern of how planets move these would be examples of my steps 1 and 2. His sources of evidence come from a Byzantine bishop and a Greek biographer and historian. It’s interesting that neither of these persons is a scientist, even though they seemed to be writing about what we now call the Solar System".

By repeating this experiment multiple times, we can see that only the uncovered meat develops worms, but also there is eggs which flies came form. As for the covered meat there will always be no worms.]]> 2018-04-04 16:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/j32345/oa35km887pfg/wish/248584835 How did scientists such as Copernicus and Redi help usher in the Age of Enlightenment? v33015 https://padlet.com/j32345/oa35km887pfg/wish/248585080 They contributed to establishing reason, evidence, and proof as central in human thought. They helped to usher in the Age of Enlightenment and a reliance on observation and experimentation over religion to study and explain 
the natural world.

How is her historical method the same as the scientific method, and how is it different?
Drawing conclusions with enough evidence allows you to have proof, which allows you to observe and experiment different discoveries. Without evidence your not trustworthy and the statement is basically non beneficial. Her historic method is the same as scientific method because they both consist of the four rules of the scientific revolution. They can both be found in the bible.
