Aristotle's definition of science became famous in its Latin translation as: rerum cognoscere causas, or, "knowledge of the ultimate causes of things." For this, you can often see in manuals Aristotle described as the Father of Science.

More the philosophy of science than science itself. To the latter, I give the nod to Democritus for his amazing abstraction of atomism.

I always looked at science as an earnest attempt to explain what our Creator made (and how it works).
