Which of the following does not show how viewpoints in Europe changed during the Scientific Revolution?

Question

A. There was a widespread increased devotion to religion.
B. People were questioning the Catholic Church.
C. Some scientists became Deists, who believed that science could explain faith.
D. Ideas merged from the Protestant and the Scientific Revolution.

Answer 1

A. There was a widespread increased devotion to religion.

During the Scientific Revolution, many people began to question traditional religious beliefs and authority, particularly that of the Catholic Church. While some individuals maintained religious devotion, the overall trend was a questioning of religious doctrines rather than an increase in devotion. Therefore, option A does not accurately reflect the changing viewpoints in Europe during this period.
