Bad wording olde girl...
what you ought to ask is :
Q. "can the renaisance be seen as a period in which the religious pre-dominance of the catholic church was shaken to its core by an emerging scientific awakening".
A. Yes.
More detail... ok, the emergance of science, cosmology in particular (capurnicus/galilalo etc) which upset the old creationism , the fall of latin as the lang of academia and the introduction of prodestant christainity into the mainstream that was more tolerent of the scientific revolution, the fracturing of church en state as one nation after anougher free'd itself from vatican meddling (henry the 8th in england being prime example..the settlement of the ameriacn colonies anougher).
Note: all these changes are not rebelion against god but against the catholic church.... Man kind (if you check up in the bible) was granted freewill , we dont rebel against god! we just choose the path our civilisation follows... i kinda think the renas. was a good thing cos a totalitarian catholic world order policed by the inquisistion of tokamada would be kinda like living in hitlers dream state... but thats just my opinion.
The Renaissance was a golden age when the light of civilisation returned and the last shadows of the darkages were swepted away... thank god for it.
