Abstract

The creators of modern science, such as Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton, begun their work based on the principles which created generations before them. Nature Research has its origins back to antiquity. The Middle Ages is in general wrongly referred to as "The Dark Ages". Therefore dominates the incorrect opinion that the science had not been developed. In fact, now forgotten medieval scholars in comparison with antiquity had brought a fundamental change in the view of nature. The Christian doctrine of God, who created the universe out of nothing and gave the world laws, prompted them to generate the principles of empirical research. Foundations of modern science were laid in "Renaissance of 12th Century", when mathematics, physics and engineering has been developed. Subsequently, several medieval natural scientists dedicated their lives to research in various areas of mathematics, physics, astronomy, optics, mechanics and other subjects of science. Renaissance scholars were able to build on this platform and Newton, using the methods of new mathematical formula could establish a modern natural science.
