The whole idea of the Scientific Revolution is a myth that is caused in part by some terminological confusion.

Experimentation and research were just as important in the much older cosmological models. The progress of science has been gradual and continuous. | The whole idea of the Scientific Revolution is a myth that is caused in part by some terminological confusion.
