The birth of Modern science could now join religions like Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity, to spark people’s personal beliefs on the world. Overall I find the revolution of science to be an enlightening movement, in which provided the world with a better perception for natural phenomena. However, I find it disappointing that science was used to justify racial and gender inequalities. It is saddening to think that people took their old definitions of racial superiority, and reinforced with new scientific knowledge. Before it was assumed by God, that one person is better than another, and as time progressed there is now a scientific explanation for it. What this time period lacked was empathy, in which we are all equal, but are only different based on how we treat others.
