17th century scientific revolution..

Science to me is a product of different societies,western science itself had gone under many transformations until 17th century scientific revolution.What was different in that revolution that stoped any further changes in the paradigm of science itself?
The answer is quite complex but perhaps the best possible answer to me is that the 17th century scientific revolution came up with the idea that nature was pure quantity and a machine to be treated mathematically.That idea is the cornerstone of the secularization of science and the cutting of the hand of God from studing nature.I personally(or naively) believe that there should be a change in the paradigm of science itself to open up the new possible ways of studing nature.
