Until the end of the Middle Ages there was no distinction between [[theology]] and [[science]]. Knowledge was deduced from self-evident principles received from [[God]] so science and theology were essentially the same thing. After the Middle Ages the increasingly [[Atheism|atheistic]] rejection of God by scientists<ref>http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v394/n6691/full/394313a0.html</ref> led to the creation of secular science where scientists will continue to search for a natural explanation for a phenomenon based on the expectation that they will find one, instead of settling on a supernatural explanation.

Today scientists do not use the word "secular science" anymore, as the premise of modern science is that there is a logical, natural explanation for everything, even though it may be not (yet) be possible to find it.
