 History of Science Society | HSSOnline.org
Viewed from the broadest possible vantage point, the history of science and religion initially divides into the two eras that are reflected in the classical struggle between "the ancients and the moderns." The historical watershed dividing these two periods defines a third basic historical period, the so-called Scientific Revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Some saw the rise of science and the emergence of natural theology as one aspect of a struggle between the ancients and the moderns, and they frankly did not believe that ancient truths could be trusted to moderns.
Before summarizing the basic contours of the nineteenth century evaluation of science and religion, especially in reference to the theory of evolution, it is important to note that an alternative voice was beginning to be heard as the century dawned.

 Seasons of the Sun
This time period coincides with an era known as the Little Ice Age, when rivers and lakes throughout Europe (and perhaps the world) froze.
Although there are good records of solar activity since the invention of the telescope in 1610, scientists have to look toward other sources to determine if there were even earlier periods of low solar activity.
Because it is believed that sun spot activity correlates to the amount of Carbon 14 and Beryllium 10 in the environment, scientists can use ice core samples on Earth to determine solar activity levels.
