'Science is a methodology for discovering and classifying knowledge. The scope of science encompasses all measurable phenomena. Science falls under two scopes: natural science, dealing with the physical, natural world, and social science, dealing with society and human nature.
People who study science are called scientists, and many of them are atheists.[1] However, most of the early scientists who started many of the scientific fields, and some of history's greatest thinkers, such as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, believed in God, or some other higher power, if they were not actually creationists. In addition, Christianity played a pivotal role in the development of modern science.
