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.

Darwin Revelation
Sometimes people will refer to the good old days, as if to try and remember how things were in the past. They are referring to a time when technology was not as advanced as today. Not too long ago, gas, groceries, and taxes were less expensive than they are now. The process of evolution has caused us to live in a technological world. The minimum wage standard is going up, however, so is the cost of living. People must be able to find ways of transitioning into the new day and age. My revelation is that the human race may be evolving with the new technological age. The article by Nicholas Carr talks about how humans have evolved to the point of not being able to read more than a few pages at a time without being bored. Everything in today’s society is becoming quicker and easier. The general public has forgotten about how things were in the old days, because they have become used to life’s comforts.
Darwin named his discoveries about the process of evolution, natural selection. These discoveries allowed him to conclude that in certain areas of the world, only the animals with the most adapted characteristics would survive. Animals of the same species may have different adaptations because of their natural evolution. “Natural selection almost inevitably causes much Extinction of the less improved forms of life” (Darwin, Origin Of Species 97). Darwin’s theories state that only the strong can survive, which seems absolutely true in nature.
Scientists believe that humans may start to evolve, just as animals have all across the world. Some scientists believe that humans may evolve to a race that has Synesthesia. This is a neurologically based disorder that alters a persons perception of life. There are many different cases which patients can percieve letters or numbers as colors, or even hearing sounds in response to visual motion.

This video relates to revelation of evolution and what humans may be able to percieve in the future. This digital world is constantly becoming more advanced, so it’s possible that the human genetics need improving as well.

Readings Connection gender science and Modernity nick beck
During our Scientific Revolution classes we have talked about the woman's role in the scientific revolution. It seems that all of the recorded history has been mainly in favor of men. I believe that although most of the discoveries were made by men, it can't be possible that all of these breakthroughs were purely male. Somewhere in time, there must have been a woman who gave advise to a great philosopher or artist. Many things is history don't give enough credit to females.
The article gender science and modernity gives the reader a little insight to how things were going in England during the seventeenth century. This article tells about how society viewed women. Women were thought of as property instead of people, very different from our society today. The article talks about how women were supposed to keep up on chores around the house, while the mans job was to work and make money for the family. The woman was supposed to care for children and make sure everything is clean and tidy.
After thinking about this, it's not hard to figure out why women were not recorded in history. It's very possible that the first person to write about medicine, learned it from a woman, and recorded it as his own. Always something to think about.
thanks for reading
