no it is not democratic!

Scientific ideas are subject to scrutiny from near and far, but nobody ever takes a vote. If the question of plate tectonics had been decided democratically when it was first presented in the early twentieth century, we would, today, have no explanation for the origins of much of Earth's terrain. Scientific ideas are accepted or rejected instead on the basis of evidence.

Science is based on evidence, not votes!

What are two arguments to prove that China is a democratic country?

There are many levels of democratic countries and it fills it in is basic form: It is "Democratic" in the same sense as East Germany was or the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea is today. Two arguments: (1) It has a parliament (2) It has elections other arguments: (3) representative legislative body (4) elected hierarchy there are several more to that. It matters not that the parliament is a "rubber stamp" organization. Nor does it matter that there is only one party to be elected.

How were science and fundamental democratic ideas connected according to philosophers of the scientific revolution?

Philosophers of the scientific revolution believed that the principles of reason, evidence, and critical thinking underlying the scientific method were also foundational to democratic ideals such as freedom, equality, and individual rights. They saw science as a model for seeking truth through open debate and observation, which mirrored the principles of governance based on rational discourse and the consent of the governed in a democratic society. This connection between science and democracy reflected a broader shift towards valuing empirical evidence and reasoning in both intellectual inquiry and political organization.
