About This Quote

During the Renaissance, people began to believe that the world was ruled by a supreme entity. This supreme entity was known as God. God was thought to be omnipotent, meaning He could do anything. Scientists believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that man was created by God.

Around that time, people began to question these ideas. The words of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus helped bring about this change in outlook. Using his own knowledge and study of science, he presented a theory that man is not at the center of the universe.

He also presented a theory that man is not God's creation, but made his own way here on Earth. The idea of God being helpless against ignorance came about when scientists realized that people do not need God to help them understand the world around them. The truth is, they are capable of understanding it themselves without any divine intervention.
