Scientific Method Nick Beck

Francis Bacon was a genius for his time period. He invented the Scientific Method, which we still use today all the time. Scientist today still follows these rules and kids are still being taught the Scientific Method in their classes. Junior year in High School I remember clearly studying and using the Scientific Method for our lab projects. The period of time that he invented this was a tough time to teach people. People were very stubborn and uneducated, pretty much sucked into religion and their laws. During the 15 and 16 hundreds, The Catholic Church was in power. Science was a threat to religion during the time, with the power of the church it is easy to say that a threat to the church could be taken care of without a problem. If Francis Bacon did not invent this method, there is a good possibility that some of the discoveries we have today might not have been discovered. For example, say a scientist did not follow the method, and tried to do it on his own. He does everything right, but he thinks that he can remember all of his data. Then all of a sudden he invents something new, but he is not able to redo it because he did not record his data and he forgot all of his information. Francis Bacon’s invention was a positive impact on the scientific revolution throughout time.
