What+was+the+Enlightment?

The Enlightenment, or the Age of Enlightenment was an eighteenth century change were logic and reason started to take route in law and government and everyday life. People started to find out that science and experiments could tell you how everything worked and that you were able to control them. before the Enlightenment everyone believed that God controlled everything and that his will was the way everything worked. However during the age of Enlightenment people found out it wasent God controlling everything, it was science. Though at the same time no one wanted to reject the existence of God either because at that time science, in terms of experiments were new and mostly only what we learn today in elementary school was being done by some of the most brilliant minds of the time so their was no way to prove God didn't exist.
