Science has opened the eye of many to different spheres of life. Science has caused invention, technology, civilization and so on. Aristotle is considered the first scientist, he was the first person since fourth century BC, to implement the techniques of logic, observation, inquiry and demonstration. Aristotle who was a philosopher and a student of Plato had a lot of contribution to the world of science.

Aristotle was given birth to in 384 BCE in northern Greece. however, many other people are also believed to be the father of science. Galileo Galilei is believed to be the father of science because he propended many theories that are still relevant till date.

The correct answer to this question is Aristotle. Many people know him for his work in philosophy, but he also deserves credit for his work as a scientist. Though the term of science was before he came about, Aristotle helped shape the framework of science that we have today.

Alot of these concepts came about during the fourth century BC when he was in Greece. During that time, he created the ideas we use today in science, including inquiry, observation, and demonstration. These ideas helped shape the science that the people of the Middle Ages and even the eighteenth century used.

Many people say that Aristotle is the inventor of science. However, this suggestion has been debated by those who feel that Roger Bacon should be credited with presenting inductive reasoning to the scientific method.

He was the author of philosophical and scientific systems that became the outline and instrument for Christian Scholasticism and medieval Islamic philosophy. Even upon the renaissance's intellectual revolutions, the reformation, and the enlightenment, Aristotle's ideas stayed true to Western thinking.

He was the most renowned philosopher. His writings in ethics and political hypothesis as well as in metaphysics and the philosophy of science remain to be studied, and his work continues as a powerful force in modern philosophical debate.

People may become a bit confused as to who truly invented science. There are some people who would say that it is Aristotle because many people consider him to be the first scientist. The first scientist may have invented science, right?

Yet, Galileo Galilei is considered to be the father of science mainly because he has created a lot of theories that people are still using right now. He may have opened the gates of science to many people who are also interested in the subject. This has allowed countless studies and hypotheses to become facts eventually because of different people’s contributions to this widely growing subject.

The invention of science is what has really brought about the possibility of civilization and technology that we enjoy today. However, the question of who actually invented this science is what many are yet to understand.

From my findings, I have discovered that science is actually credited to many people for their big and tangible contribution to its development. But the credit for the invention of science has been most widely given to Aristotle. He was a philosopher that was given birth to in 384 BCE in northern Greece. Aristotle was actually a student of Plato and a teacher to Alexander.

He wrote a lot of books that are studied till today. These books explore philosophy, metaphysics, politics, biology, poetics, ethics, physics, and the heavens. The first European Universities (in Paris, Oxford, Bologna) all started in the fourteenth century with the primary aim of studying Aristotle. Several Scholars and scientists have emerged from the study of Aristotle.
