TODAY, HUMANITY DOES NOT NEED THE "NEW WORLD ORDER" PROPOSED AND GRADUALLY BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE IMPERIALIST OF THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION. WHAT WE NEED IS A BENEVOLENT NEW AGE OF REASON.
~ Perman Wilson
The glory of the Age of Reason meant more than the sphere of speculative thinking and theory. The success of seventeenth-century scholars in "mathematicizing the universe" led to the extension of natural law to all the experimental sciences.
Fully convinced that they were working in a mechanistic universe controlled by natural law, scientists turned from theology to experimentation and observation to improve their disciplines.
Using the telescope, microscope, pendulum clock, barometer, thermometer, and a host of other devices, they set about the task of accumulating a vast amount of accurate data.
Discoveries of scientific facts multiplied, and interest in science grew rapidly.
New scientific organizations, including the Royal Society of London and the French Academy of Sciences, were founded to encourage scholars, publish scientific treatises, perfect and standardize instruments, and coordinate information.
The work of the new scientists had a profound influence on Western civilization, taking rank in importance with the discovery of the "New World" and the Commercial Revolution.
