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 [[Galileo Galilei]] and [[Isaac Newton]], believed in [[God]], or some other higher power, and many were [[creationists]] although the ideas of [[evolutionism]] or [[Darwinism]] were not yet popular.

In addition, [[Christianity]] played a pivotal role in the development of modern science (see [[Christianity and Science]]). However, in recent years, science has become increasingly [[atheism|atheistic]],<ref>http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/atheism1.htm</ref> rejecting God and his works in explanations of the world and all of human experience, instead readily embracing [[logic]] and rigorous science such as [[evolution]], [[relativity]], [[global warming]] and much of [[cosmology]] and [[geology]] based on a time frame which predates the date of [[creation]] outlined by [[James Ussher|Ussher]] et al. Consequently the sloppy [[logic]] of [[creation science]] is gaining in irrelevance, enabling intelligent people to distinguish real science from biased propaganda. Some conservatives reject modern science because it disagrees with what they would like to believe.

Consequently the rigid [[logic]] of [[creation science]] is gaining in importance, enabling intelligent people to distinguish real science from atheistic secular junk science.

Science differs from other methodologies of classifying knowledge in that a scientific theory is a description of the world which in principle is capable of being disproved; this is known as [[falsifiability]].  It is this property which distinguishes science from other possible methods of discovering knowledge.
