Reign of Terror

The Reign of Terror began September 5th, 1793. This was a hard point during the French Revolution. The main thing for the Reign of the Terror were the executions that took place at the guillotine which then seemed important but now they just seem like people were beheaded just because someone didn't like them. After the Reign of Terror came a period just as bad and even though their were less executions their were many more deaths; the Reign of Napoleon.

The French Revolution

The French Revolution became with one short event but took a long time to come into effect. At first their were three estates, the Clergy, Nobles, and Peasants which were everyone else. When something was wrong in France usually the King would settle it. But when the King didnt know what to do because the problem was too big he would call a meeting of all the representatives of the three estates. The system was very unfair because if the Clergy and Noble voted for something that would greatly effect the peasant Estate and not them then even if the Peasant estate voted against it it wouldn't matter because it was a three on one vote even though most of the population was in the Peasant Estate.

On July 14th 1789 however everything would change. The people of the Peasant estate revolted and captured the Bastille, a Jail/ Fortress. After that their was a meeting of the Estates and the results didnt suit the Peasant estate so they went off to make their own government. From then on the Revolution was a slow political posses.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The geocentric was the first beliefe about the solor system. This Theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe. This was brought up by the Church in the belief that everything revolves around the Earth. Then came the heliocentric theory that came from the scientific revolution. This theory states that the sun is the center and we revolve around the sun.

The trial of Galileo was done because the Church has a lot of power back then and if they were proven wrong then they would lose power. The Church was putting him on trian because he was contridicting their idea that the universe revled around tge Earth and saying it revolved around the sun. Galileo believed that when what he saw threw his teliscope was the truth (becuase it was) but the Church believed that Earth was the most important and the god mad everthing revolve around it.

Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method

The scientific method is a layout set out to simplify how to solve a problem. For example if you want to find out how many people like to watch TV against who dosent, you would first state the problem, then make a guess or "Hypothesis", then you need to list what materials you will need. After that you get to the actual experiment. First you go around asking people if they like watching TV. If they do they would go on a list under "Likes to watch TV" if they dont they would go under "Does not like to watch TV" then you would look at your data and based on that come up with a conclusion seeing whether or not based on the people you asked if the majority does or does not like to watch TV.

Evolution vs Creation

Evolution is a proven scientific theory theory that all life on Earth once were single celled organisms and slowly 'evolved' into multi-celled organisms. Also if a creature or plant is in an environment that changes it needs to adapt to survive. For example with humans, science shows were were monkeys once and we adapted to make surviving easier. We were able to walk upright to move around better, our hands changed to hold things better and we lost our fur because we started to were clothes that kept us warm.

Creation is Religious the believe that god created all life on earth the way it is now. Basically the story goes that god wanted an Earth and universe so he made them. Then he desired life and made Adem and Eve and trees and animals. And after that history starts from when man first started accurately record history around the time of Egypt or ancient Greece.
