'''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 [[scientist]]s. 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, and many were [[creationists]]. In addition, [[Christianity]] [[Christianity and Science|played a pivotal role in the development of modern science]].

The basis of science is observation and hypothesis, it involves constructing the best theory to explain an occurrence based on the evidence at the time. The generally accepted scientific procedure is:

== Basis of science ==

* Observations of an unknown phenomenon are made

{{QuoteBox|... the basis of modern science depends on the assumption that the universe was made by a rational [[Creator]]. An orderly [[universe]] makes sense only if it were designed and created by an orderly Creator (cf.  1 Corinthians 14:33). But if [[polytheism]] or [[atheism]] were true, there would be no way to deduce that the universe is, or should be, orderly.<ref>Hardaway, Brent, and Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/1584#science Countering Christophobia], ''Journal of Creation'' 18(3):28–30, December 2004.</ref>}}

One of the fundamental tenants of science is that no theory is absolute, they are constantly changing in response to new evidence being observed.
