Sixteenth century, this age of religious warfare was also the age of the scientific revolution. Even though some sociologists think the Reformation somehow facilitate or foster the new science, it is more than a coincidence, because both stimulate by printing, without which all of us may know nothing about what happened in that era, let alone who was Newton or Galileo.
From my standpoint, no matter philosophy or theology is interpreting what the world is like. Scientists tell us gravity produced by earth make the apple hit Newton' s head, the earth is round so that we can be back to the original point after keeping moving in one direction, and priests tell us all of all is created by God. According to the Marxist, all above is just the difference on world view, another cannot be ignored is methodology. We cannot observe the universe without telescope, we cannot discover the cell without microscope. The result of the development in technology is making our eyes open to look at the world possible.
