Why was The law of universal gravitation important during the renaissance?

Answer 1

It actually made it so that there were unchangeable laws that governed the universe. Up until this time people wanted to see the world as fairly arbitrary and changeable. However, with laws like universal gravitation, it made it so that the earth and everything on it was subject to universal laws. This was a bit threatening to the church that wanted to make everything subject to the church, but gravity is not.
