Relationship of science and modern science?

Answer 1

Modern science essentially begins with the scientific method developed by Galileo. His emphasis on observation, theory, and experimentation to validate the theory distinguishes modern scientific practices from those of ancient alchemists who relied heavily on prayer, magic, divination, and occult style mysticism. Science has not demonstrated any measurable impact of spirits or spiritual forces on any physical object. Essentially, science IS modern science. Before Galileo the concept of science was ill formed, and included considerable nonsense like alchemy, Astrology, and magic.
