Why do people revolt?

Revolutions

One of the greatest/important of all Revolutions

I have cast the die…I will not reconcile myself to the Church for all eternity. Let them condemn and burn all that belongs to me; in return I will do the same to them.

- Martin Luther, 1520

Protestant Reformation

The Christian Church needed $

Perhaps the Renaissance’s progression away from the Church led to this.

Looked for new ways to make money

Origins of the Reformation

The Church sold “Indulgences”

Indulgences – Certificates sold by the religious officials to forgive men of their sins, thereby lessening their time in Purgatory

This angered the monk Martin Luther

(Late 16c)

For this reason we forbid anyone from this time forward to dare, either by words or by deeds, to receive, defend, sustain, or favor the said Martin Luther. On the contrary, we want him to be apprehended and punished as a notorious heretic, as he deserves, to be brought personally before us, or to be securely guarded until those who have captured him inform us, whereupon we will order the appropriate manner of proceeding against the said Luther. Those who will help in his capture will be rewarded generously for their good work.

History of the World

Newton’s Laws of Motion1st Law – An object at rest will stay at rest, and an

object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

2nd Law – Force equals mass times acceleration.

3rd Law – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The universe could be explained completely through the use of mathematics; mathematical models of the universe were accurate physical descriptions of the universe.

The universe operated in a completely rational and predictable way following the mathematics used to describe the universe; the universe, then, was mechanistic.

One need not appeal to revealed religion or theology to explain any aspect of the physical phenomena of the universe
