Detailed explanation-1: -The later success of the Scientific Revolution made science the most trusted authority on what is truth and how truth is found. This undermined the authority of religion in the view of most of society.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Scientific Revolution led to the creation of new knowledge systems, social hierarchies, and networks of thinkers. It also affected production and distribution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The new scientific approach promoted critical thinking. Nothing was to be accepted on faith. Belief in miracles and superstition was replaced by reliance on reason and the idea that rational thinking would uncover a plan governing the universe.
