Answer 1

False. While the Renaissance marked a significant shift towards empirical observation and the use of reason in medicine, religion and superstition still played a significant role in medical practice during and after this period. Many people continued to rely on traditional beliefs, religious explanations for illness, and superstitions in conjunction with emerging scientific knowledge. The process of replacing these older beliefs with reason and empirical evidence was gradual and not fully realized by the end of the Renaissance.
