People in the mid 1500s began challenging traditional believes and authority figures because they were undergoing changes
Secularism really became an acceptable political philosophy in the late 1500s and early 1600s.
Science begin in the 16th or the 17th century about 1600's
There is no single answer to that question, because there are many different points at which some crucial scientific advance happened, which some people would identify as the true beginning of modern science, but I will give you my opinion. Galileo Galilei's work on pendulums, in 1581, marks the first truly modern scientific type of thinking and experimentation. Galileo is recognized as the founder of the science of physics, and his work predates anyone else who might be considered a modern scientist. Since it is now the year 2012 (as I type) the year 1581 was 431 years ago. Modern science has been progressing for well over four centuries.
