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 atheistic rejection of God by scientists[1] 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.
