Chapter 15
Mitchell Fulfer
During the beginning of the modern era, religion and science was spread throughout the world. While religion focuses on faith, science focuses on rational thoughts. People used both ways to answer questions they have about the world. They answer the questions differently though. Science seeks answers in a rational way. Religion seeks answers in a spiritual way or ethics. Even though Christianity is mainly middle eastern in it's origins, only Europe was fans of it. The foundation of Western European civilization was torn apart by the Protestant Reformation. It was led by Martin Luther. He came up with the 95 theses which offered debatable abuses in the Catholic church. This was very influential in the Lutheran church, creating the religion. The protestant breakaway happened when catholics started to reintroduce their original doctrines. Catholic missionaries spread Christianity all over the world after this. These missionaries were the most successful in the Philippines and Spanish America.
