@thestrangest When did science begin and can you give me examples of atheists before science?
We can say that people have been thinking scientifically since the foundation of philosophy(since philosophy gave birth to all sciences) as we know it with Plato(publishing works of Socrates and his own stuff bla bla bla) but the 1st recorded atheist is even before that, "Diagoras "the Atheist" of Melos (Greek: Διαγόρας ὁ Μήλιος) was a Greek poet and sophist of the 5th century BC. Throughout antiquity, he was regarded as an atheist, but very little is known for certain about what he actually believed. Anecdotes about his life indicate that he spoke out against ancient Greek religion. He allegedly chopped up a wooden statue of Heracles and used it to roast his lentils and revealed the secrets of the Eleusinian Mysteries. The Athenians banished him from their city for his impiety and he died in Corinth."-your friend, Wikipedia
But each domain of science can be safely said to have largely grown(lots of theories, formula...) from non-existence(practically no useful or impressive findings) with a particular scientist, Newton for Physics, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier for chemistry... none of these influential scientists can be really found before the 12th century so we can safely say modern science started at the 12th century(source : https://www.google.fr/amp/s/scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/when-did-science-begin/amp/), i can even safely guess (without looking up a lot of stuff) that the majority of all ground-breaking scientific findings happened from the 17th century forward
