Final answer:
Option D, the belief that human problems are solvable through science and technology alone, is not an effect of the Scientific Revolution, as it recognized the limits of science and technology.
Step-by-step explanation:
Effects of the Scientific Revolution
he question asks which of the following was not an effect of the Scientific Revolution. The option D. belief that human problems are solvable through science and technology alone does not accurately represent the effects of the Scientific Revolution. While the Scientific Revolution certainly increased optimism in the potential of science and technology to address human problems, it did not instill a belief that these tools could solve all human problems without consideration of other factors, including moral, aesthetic, or spiritual concerns which are outside the realm of science.
It is important to note that:
- Improved medicines were indeed a direct outcome of the advancements in understanding disease and treatments.
- An attitude of humble discovery reflects the shift towards empirical evidence and observation that characterized this period.
- The decline in respect for the past could be associated with the new focus on modern science as compared to ancient and medieval scientific ideas which were being challenged and often disproven.
Thus, the not-effect option would be D, as the Scientific Revolution did recognize limits to what science and technology could address.
