Strange as it might seem Science Fiction came first.

SF has been around ever since ever since literature began, in fact the earliest piece of literature (The Epic of Gilgamesh) can be argued to have elements of SF/Fantasy to it. The genre was definitely well establish by the early bronze age as evidence by the legends of Daedelus. One of the earliest writers of SF has been identified as Lucian of Samosata c. AD 125 - after AD 180.

Science was not invented until the time of FrancisBacon (22 January 1561 - 9 April 1626)
