EARLY Science :

The highest gift to Homo-sapiens on ascent was expanding Consciousness. Discriminatory power and power of contemplation lead ,simultaneously the theory of God and Scie4nce. The earliest Science, without tools of objective appliance was contemplative philosophy. Simultaneously in the Axial civilised (settled ) world like in Bhatata (I dislike the slang Word-India) a se3ctin of this discriminatory path(Vedantic -Samkhya) discovered the inter play of Consciousness and (Mother)Nature ,Purusha and Prakrity as the Divine First Cause of all that is , that is not and that ever will be.
It se3ems, thus , that the advent of Divinity , Anthropomorphic God and and Contemplative growth of contemplative knowledge named Science was almost simultaneous. Modern Science took birth in the womb of provable field with the developments of tools for applied science.
