In the first of a series of five papers (Faulkner 2022), I discussed the philosophy of science and described some of the different ways that science is done. In this second paper, I trace the history of science from the ancient Greeks through the medieval period. With each new development, I categorize the type of science being done in terms of the philosophy of science discussed in the previous paper. I identify several common misconceptions about ancient and medieval science. In the next two papers, I will describe the modern scientific revolution of the seventeenth century and revolution of modern physics a century ago. The fifth and final paper will assess the state of modern science in the twenty-first century and how creationists ought to view their work.
