i think that the old chemistry is called alchemy. and the one who study alchemy is called alchemist. almost all the alchemist believe that there is immortality.
The alchemists were the first chemists. They mixed chemicals, but also believed that magic would help them in their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their chemical experiments eventually led to the science of chemistry.

Alchemy is not scientific, but chemistry is based on evidence. <-----Apex;)
Alchemists just tried to transmute substances into gold. Their only interest was getting rich quick. The field of medicine was made with the goal of saving lives of sick and injured people. Chemistry is a science which can be used to learn about chemicals and create all sorts of useful substances. Basically, chemistry and medicine are for the bettering of humanity, while alchemy is the self-centered pursuit of wealth.
Alchemy WAS - but as new rules were discovered it either changed into chemistry OR it became "unscientific".
Alchemy is sometimes referred to as 'early chemistry'. It was Robert Boyle who, in the 17th century, changed alchemy to chemistry. Alchemy derives from an Arabic word meaning chemistry.
Primitive science is the background of early chemistry and alchemy.
Now a day, people study chemistry instead and alchemy was the ancient science as we know it.
Alchemy is a historical practice that aimed to transmute base metals into gold and find an elixir of immortality, blending elements of chemistry, philosophy, and mysticism. While modern science considers alchemy to be a pseudoscience, it laid the groundwork for the development of chemistry.
Alchemy was a pseudo-science that eventually evolved into modern Chemistry, which was simply found and proven to be more right.

Any magic exist in science; magic is a characteristic of pseudoscience and religion.
Alchemy is just early science. There is nothing intrinsically evil about learning by doing.
Chemistry is the science and study of elements and their reactions with each other. The word stems from alchemy, the study of turning base metals into metals of higher value. Alchemy was seen as a type of magic, but people later realized that it was a science. It is a study of anything in this world.By this subject we can explain anything in earth.
Alchemy was a very genuine scientific inquiry in the middle ages, but it has since been made obsolete by the science of chemistry, which has a much better understanding of chemical phenomena than alchemy did. Anyone still practicing alchemy in the 21st century has failed to understand that science has advanced since the middle ages.
To a certain extent it is. It has evolved and changed to what is now a part of chemistry and physics.
