Explanation:
The 15th century was mentioned as the time during which the people began to doubt the teachings of the spiritual scriptures and want to know the truth. This led to the evolution of science and scientific ideas in various parts of the world. This is known as the time of the intellects.
The experimenters like Copernicus concluded that the Sun is the centre of the Solar system which opposed the ideas of the teachings of the Bible which said that Earth was the centre. The catholic church criticized him for his new ideas.
Later Galileo represented his ideas of the pendulum, speed of falling objects, the telescope findings, astronomical findings and was also criticized earlier but later he used to publish the new ideas in the form of books.
Such evidence shows that the catholic church was against scientific ideas as people can begin to question the teachings of the Bible.
