Thales of Miletus??
Thales of Miletus lived from 624BC - 546 BC. He attempted to explain natural phenomena without referring to mythology and was very influential in this respect.
Thales attempted to explain earthquakes by hypothesizing that the Earth floats on water, and that earthquakes occur when the Earth is rocked by waves, rather than assuming that earthquakes were the result of supernatural processes.
Also people don't find theories they formulate them from ideas or experiments.
