Detailed explanation-1: -The philosophical underpinnings of the Scientific Revolution were laid out by Francis Bacon, who has been called the father of empiricism. His works established and popularised inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply the scientific method.

Detailed explanation-2: -It replaced the Greek view of nature that had dominated science for almost 2, 000 years. The Scientific Revolution was characterized by an emphasis on abstract reasoning, quantitative thought, an understanding of how nature works, the view of nature as a machine, and the development of an experimental scientific method.

Detailed explanation-3: -The common held belief for a long time was that the Earth was the centre of the universe and that all the planets revolved around it. This is because God had created the universe and humans were children of God, therefore it follows that the Earth should be the center of the universe.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
