Strayer,Chapter 16 pp. 477-488

In the second part of the chapter it states that, Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes and Newton were the first to bring science into the religion aspect. Who really brought the scientific revolution together was Sir Isaac Newton who founded the modern laws of mechanics and motion. This helped with the notion of the world being ruled by mathematics instead of angels and spirits. Its prime location where science took place was in Europe. Seeing how something so major as the scientific revolution is a since of power that Europe had to build them. Knowing that they were already on top of others , establishing this big topic helped them with power. In my view as a science major, I believe that the scientific revolution does play a role on the outlook on nature. The way things have been founded and confirmed would not be the way it was without science.
