Galileo and Descartes both explored scientific theories that challenged long accepted notions. There new ideas were perceived as a threat or heretical because they disagreed with strongly held religious beliefs.

Scientific scholars from the period of the Scientific Revolution questioned the authority of the ancient Greeks. They began to challenge the works of ancient scholars such as Galen and Ptolemy. Vesalius dissected actual human bodies to find out about human anatomy. He realized that Galen had made mistakes. When Copernicus applied mathematics to the study of the movements of the sun and the planets in the sixteenth century, he found out that Ptolemy's assumptions were incorrect. Thinkers such as Bacon and Descartes believed that scholars should not depend solely on the writings of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, but use scientific approaches such as experimentation, observation, and mathematics to acquire knowledge about the universe. Galileo and Newton actually experimented and made very careful observations to make some of their discoveries. Newton revealed that the universe followed certain laws, and that human beings could understand the laws. Over time, most people came to accept this new way of thinking and answering questions about the physical world.
