Enlightenment thinking placed value on scientific knowledge and thought. Based on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," which best describes the relationship between Enlightenment thinking and the thinking of Edwards's followers?

Enlightenment thinkers emphasized reason and scientific knowledge, while Edwards’s sermon urges listeners to recognize their dependence on God and fear divine judgment. Those views point in sharply different directions: one looks to human reason and observation, while the other centers on religious faith and God’s power. So the best choice is that the beliefs directly opposed each other.
