Thomas Aquinas
Thomas Aquinas , O.P. ( pron.: / ə ˈ k w aɪ n ə s / ə- KWY -nəs ; 1225 – 7 March 1274), also Thomas of Aquin or Aquino , was an Italian Dominican priest , and an immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism , within which he is also known as the "Dumb Ox", "Angelic Doctor", " Doctor Communis ", and " Doctor Universalis ". [ 1 ] "Aquinas" is the demonym of Aquino : Thomas came from one of the noblest families of the Kingdom of Naples; his parents held the titles "Count of Aquino" and "Countess of Teano." [ 2 ] He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology , and the father of Thomism . His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy was conceived in development or refutation of his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law , metaphysics, and political theory.The Quinque viæ , Five Ways , or Five Proofs are Five arguments regarding the existence of God summarized by the 13th century Roman Catholic philosopher and theologian St. Thomas Aquinas in his book, Summa Theologica .

Genius
A genius is a person who has exceptional intellectual ability, creativity , or originality , typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of unprecedented insight . There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate. The term is used in various ways: to refer to a particular aspect of an individual, or the individual in his or her entirety; to a scholar in many subjects (e.g. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz or Leonardo da Vinci ) [ 1 ] or a scholar in a single subject (e.g., Albert Einstein or Srinivasa Ramanujan or Stephen Hawking ). Research into what causes genius and mastery is still in its early stages, and psychology offers relevant insights. [ edit ] Origin of the word
Tutelary deity
A tutelary (also tutelar ) is a deity or spirit who is a guardian, patron or protector of a particular place, geographic feature, person, lineage, nation, culture or occupation. Both tutelary and tutelar can be used as either a noun or an adjective. An analogous concept in Christianity is the patron saint , or to a lesser degree guardian angel . One type of tutelary deity is the genius , the personal deity or daimon of an individual from birth to death. Pierre A.
The scientific revolution was the emergence of modern science during the early modern period , when developments in mathematics , physics , astronomy , biology , medicine , and chemistry transformed views of society and nature. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] According to traditional accounts, the scientific revolution began in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance era and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment . While its dates are disputed, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus 's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres ) and Andreas Vesalius 's De humani corporis fabrica ( On the Fabric of the Human body ) is often cited as marking the beginning of the scientific revolution. By the end of the 18th century the scientific revolution had given way to the " Age of Reflection ".

Protestant Reformation
The Protestant Reformation was the 16th-century schism within Western Christianity initiated by Martin Luther , John Calvin and other early Protestants . It was sparked by the 1517 posting of Luther's Ninety-Five Theses . The efforts of the self-described "reformers", who objected to ("protested") the doctrines, rituals, leadership and ecclesiastical structure of the Roman Catholic Church , led to the creation of new national Protestant churches. The Reformation was precipitated by earlier events within Europe , such as the Black Death and the Western Schism , which eroded people's faith in the Catholic Church and the Papacy that governed it. This, as well as many other factors, such as spread of Renaissance ideas and inventions, such as the invention of the printing press , and the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire , contributed to the creation of Protestantism.
