The scientific revolution was when scientist started to experiment the theories people had of how earth started and came from. They called it the scientific method because they experimented over and over to prove or disprove the idea. An example was "Aristotle had a theory that heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects." Then they did a test and said that objects of different weights fall at the same speed and proved Aristotle wrong. Then another scientist called Isaac Newton and explained the laws of gravity proving Aristotle wrong again. He said that there was a universal law of gravitation that applied equally to earth and the heavens.
The example a young Italian named Galileo was that he test the theory that heavy objects fell faster then lighter objects. Legends say that he went up to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped stones of different weights. He proved Aristotle wrong by showing that objects of different weights fall at the same speed. For example if you drop a bowling ball and a baseball at the same time they will fall at the same speed.

Evolution vs Creation
Darwin's Theory says that everything from life is related and decended from their ancesters. He said that we all came from animals because of natural selection, which is when we slowly gain an ability like wings to fly to survive the changes. He says that over a long period of time many organisms evolved since the world changed and became very different than what they were back then.
Creationism is the belief that all of us were created by supernatural being or beings. It is the religious beliefs that the universe was created by God. All over the world people have believed in creationism which is believing in a religion like Christianity. Many scientist say that there is no supernatural being that could have created it and that there all just beliefs. Creationism is beliefs of being a God that made everything and there was a book, the bible, that state it.
I believe in creationism because I think that someone or something had to start the universe and earth. Unlike evolution, creationism believes that It all started with one man and one women that made all of us. Evolution thinks that we evolved from primates and that we just are the evolved version of them from thousands of years. But I am religious and i believe that there was a supernatural being that created the universe, earth, and started life.
