Question

• Copernicus’ heliocentric model of the universe

• Newton’s law of gravitation
• Descartes’ belief in truth through reason
This set of ideas from the Scientific Revolution
gave Europeans a new way to
(1) view humankind’s place in the universe
(2) support the core beliefs of the church
(3) authenticate historical facts
(4) verify civil liberties

Answer 1

The best answer is A). In fact, the heliocentric model refuted some of the church's beliefs, so B is false. I don't see which historical facts this could refer to- it's rather laws of physics and knowledge about the universe, so no C. And it also didn't have much to do with civil liberties- D.
