2. How SCIENCE
originated?

3. Rodney Stark
Professor
American sociologist of religion.
He is distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at Baylor
University, co-director of the university's Institute for Studies of
Religion.

5. The rise of science did not take occur in the ancient world, but
only as the natural outgrowth of Christian doctrine.
According to Rodney Stark:
The Christian God created nature; nature exists because God
created it.

6. To love and honor God, His people must study the wonders of
His handiwork. Men in the monasteries of 6th century Europe
began to think about the verse in Psalm 148.
“He hath established the earth by an everlasting decree.”

7. He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath
made a decree which shall not pass.
Psalm 148:6
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for He commanded
and they were created.
Psalm 148:5

8. Europeans' faith in God led them to explore His works on the
Earth, thus creating science.

9. Thinking about this and the whole theme of God’s righteousness
gave them faith that God had ordered all of nature.
So, a great search for order began, and the scientific method of
experimenting and measuring began.

10. The result, for the first time in the history of the world, was:
Astronomy
instead of
astrology
Chemistry
instead of alchemy.

11. Science as we know it today began when some Christian men
abandoned their doctrine that the routine operation of the
universe required the continuous active involvement of God.
That meant they could study cause and effect, since the effect
didn't depend on the whim of God.

12. From that point, they decided to try to understand how the
universe works.
The motive was to glorify the God they believed created it. In
most cases, they used their own personal / family wealth, with
some support from the church.

13. Origin of Science is associated with names like:
Copernicus Kepler Galileo Newton

14. Copernicus
mathematician and astronomer
Formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun
rather than the Earth at its center.

15. Johanne Kepler
mathematician, astronomer and astrologer
He is best known for his laws of planetary motion,
based on his works.

16. Galileo Galilei
Italian physicist, mathematician, engineer,
astronomer, and philosopher
Played a major role in the scientific revolution during the
Renaissance.

17. Isaac Newton
English physicist and mathematician
Widely recognised as one of the most influential
scientists of all time.

18. Until approximately 1500, the following were more highly
developed than in the West:
In Islam
mathematics medicinegeometric
optics
astronomy

19. But science was not institutionalized in Islamic society.
Nor was it institutionalized in ancient and medieval China,
despite significant achievements.
Similar arguments apply to all other societies and
civilizations. Science can be found in many of them but was
institutionalized and perpetuated in none.

25. Is a body of empirical, theoretical and practical
knowledge about the natural world, produced by scientists who
emphasize the observation, explanation, and prediction of real
world phenomena.
SCIENCE

26. The English word scientistis relatively recent
—first coined by William Whewell in the 19th century.
Previously, people investigating nature called themselves as:
Trivia!
natural philosophers
