1. What other traits a scientist must possess? Name five (5) and explain each.
a. CURIOSITY- it means to wonder about different things in order to find new solutions or improvements, this is due to
strong desire to know and learn something.
b. PATIENT- because they repeat experiments multiple times to verify results.
c. SKEPTICISM- scientist does not take one answer but instead goes back to a certain problem to find more solutions by
looking at said problems though different view points.
d. COMMUNICATIVE- they may need to work as part of a team shate information with the public ot collaborate with
colleagues around the world.
e. CREATIVE- scientist must be creative able to think outside the box  and vision things that cannot be seen.
2. Give 2 scientist that flourish during the scientific revolution and mention what they have contributed (law/theory)
GALILEO GALILEI- was a german mathematician and astronomer who discovered that the earth and planets travel about
the sun in elliptical orbits.
KEPLER JOHANNES- contributions to the revolution were observational data, which he obtained with a telescopic, he
built himself. He was the 1st astronomer to seen the heavens with a light magnifying instrument and is sometimes
referred to as the father of observational astronomy.
3. What is the contribution of Copernicus in the Philosophy of science? 
NICOLAS COPERNICUS- was an astronomer who proposed a heliocentric system that the planets orbit around the sun
that earth is a planet which orbiting the sun anually also turns once daily on its own axis and that very slow changes in
the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxed.
4. Thought Experiment is still useful in science at present, agree or disagree? Explain. 
I think yes? because students still do experiments such as a senior students but at the same time no because you can do
or watch experiments works by just using and watching it in a device called smartphones but still yes cause
experimenting is more knowledgeful and a fun activity.
5. In your own opinion, do you think the Church should intervene in scientific activities?
It shouldn't. There is no reason whatsoever for religion to involve itself in the physical sciences.
That doesn't mean the church shouldn't have a science division, the catholic church actually does, or that a person with
religious beliefs can't do science, but their religious beliefs should be kept separate from their scientific works.
In fact, a catholic priest, Georges Lemaitre, postulated the expanding universe which was confirmed by Hubbles
observation. This postulate led him to be the first to suggest the big bang theory.
This is a great example where a person of faith was making scientific discoveries without letting their religious beliefs
interfere. He even argued with the pope, who believed the big bang theory was evidence of creation. He made sure the
pope understood that this was an illogical conclusion and, more or less, an argument from ignorance.
6. How can Darwin’s Theory influence the following field in today’s time? 
a. ECONOMY
-It's a biological theory so not so much.
Understanding how selection works influences the farm animal and seed markets, especially the prices of animals for
insemination and breeding. But farmers understood this intuitively centuries before the theory.
b. AGRICULTURE
-Denison says Darwin's best argument for the power of natural selection was borrowed from agriculture, specifically the
success of plant and animal breeders in improving crops and livestock simply by selecting which plants and animals get
to reproduce
c. RELIGION
-By providing an account of the origin and diversity of organisms, Darwin was seen by some as mounting a serious
challenge to traditional religious understandings of the creation of the world and humankind. Some adherents of
religion have argued that Darwinian Evolution is utterly incompatible with religious belief.
d. POLITICS
-Many Social Darwinists embraced laissez-faire capitalism and racism. They believed that government should not
interfere in the “survival of the fittest” by helping the poor, and promoted the idea that some races are biologically
superior to others.
