How did Europeans attitudes toward science changed in 1500s and 1600s?

The 1500s and 1600s was the time of the Renaissance and then the Enlightenment. Both were concerned about man, nature, and how things worked. The Scientific Revolution started in the 1500s during the Renaissance. This is heralded by the publication of Andreas VesaliusÕs book On the Workings of the Human Body. Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Lalilei, Tycho Brahe, and Johannes Brahe were other scientists of this time period to advance science. In the 1600s, the scientific method became more widespread. Isaac newton is one of the scientists most closely associated with this time period.
