The Scientific Revolution threatened religious authorities by challenging established beliefs, promoting empirical observation, and fostering ideas of separation between science and religion. Thinkers like Copernicus and Galileo introduced new concepts that contradicted traditional religious teachings, leading to a gradual decline in the church's power over societal governance. This period marked a fundamental transformation in how humanity perceived the universe and its relationship to divine authority.
