The age of reason, as it was called, was spreading rapidly across Europe. In the late 17th century, scientists like isaac newton and writers like john locke were challenging the old order. Newton's laws of gravity and motion described the world in terms of natural laws beyond any spiritual force. In the wake of political turmoil in England, Locke asserted the right of a people to change a government that did not protect natural rights of life, liberty and property. People were beginning to doubt the existence of a God who could predestine human beings to eternal misery and empower a tyrant for a king. Europe would be forever changed by these ideas.
