An 1867 article in the church-oriented Contemporary Review uses the phrase, while making the point that the scientific revolution was not only not, as often implied, an opposition to religion, but was in fact largely the work of the clergy. The author suggests that "Galileo, the layman, was himself partly to blaim for the persecution which the churchman, Copernicus avoided." He then continues:
- Let us mark down, for instance, the names of churchmen as they come before us in the history of the scientific revolution whicDFcribed the true method of physical inquiry...

The whole idea of the Scientific Revolution is a myth that is caused in part by some terminological confusion. There was increased acceptance of a revolution in the sense of an cosmological revolution of the Earth. There was no intellectual revolution in the sense of a profound change in intellectual thought. Experimentation and research were just as important in the much older cosmological models. The progress of science has been gradual and continuous.
