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 materialist 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.
