One way in which the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment are similar is that both (1) led to increased power for royal families in Europe (2) sought to reconcile Christian beliefs and science (3) questioned traditional values and past practices (4) promoted nationalistic revolutions in eastern Europe.
