When did predestination start?
The concept of Predestination, in the Christian faith, began, as I understand it, with the beginning of Protestantism. Catholicism was the reigning Christian denomination in Europe in the 1500's and the Catholic Church was beginning to become very unpopular with many people. Some people felt that the Catholic Church was too corrupt and that the Pope and Cardinals were just power-hungry individuals with personal greed as a priority rather than true Christianity. The Church was viewed as overly political by some and abuses and personal profit were rampant. Small groups of rebels began to form and a leader, Martin Luther emerged. He met in secret groups and spread illegal (at the time) pamphlets denouncing the Catholic Church and many Catholic Kings, such as Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France. Lutheranism had been gaining ground since the 1300's, but in the 1500's Catholicism became seriously threatened. Protestants and Lutherans believed that all people should have access to the Word of God (The Bible), which at that time was only printed in Latin and Ancient Greek and only read by religious scholars. They printed translated copies in English and other modern languages and distributed them through an illegal underground. It was illegal to own a copy of The Bible in English in some countries at that time and Church leaders feared that their authority would weaken if common people had access to Holy texts. They believed that only Religious scholars had the authority to interpret The Bible and feared that people would come to their own conclusions. The Pope was considered God's chosen representative on Earth and the Church wanted to keep the mystery and power that resulted from keeping the masses uneducated and dependent on the Church. Protestants and Lutherans were considered extremely radical and oddly, one of the tenets of their version of Christianity, was the belief in Predestination. They believed that all people were already chosen as "saved" or "not saved" but that no one knew who was or was not. It was a very pessimistic spiritual view and individuals hoped that they were saved and tried to live as true a Christian life as possible on the off chance that they were chosen by God to be saved. When Henry VIII wanted to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon and marry a commoner, Anne Boleyn, he was not able to get the divorce he wanted from the Catholic Church and eventually split from the Church (a very radical step) and created a new church, the Church of England, with himself at it's head. He began the dissolution of monasteries, many of which were corrupt, and took their profits for himself and favored courtiers and men in government. He despised Martin Luther and wanted him burned, but ironically agreed with him on many points, although he would never admit it. He viewed himself as a staunch Catholic for his entire life, although he and his new wife, Queen Anne, acted Protestant in many ways. This split from the Church created a religious climate in Europe that allowed for Lutheranism to gain many followers and this version of Christianity expanded rapidly and has been a popular religion ever since, along with Protestantism.

How did the Scientific Revolution weaken the Catholic Church?
The "Scientific Revolution" did not weaken the Catholic Church, the Scientific Revolution was brought about by the Catholic Church. Nearly everyone who contributed to it for centuries was Catholic, in many notable cases, they were even clergy or monks. People of a protestant or secular viewpoint often make the claim that the scientific revolution led to a weakening of the Church because the Church relied on things not seen, while science relied on provable facts, but this is a straw argument, and doesn't touch the reality that everyone actually doing the science was a Catholic.
