Science is today not about why it's about how . That's a huge difference and the split started around that time. This split is what allowed modern science to exist before this there would be great discussions about why a stone should move where . Newton s work is all about measuring and equations, why something falls whether it's God's will or the Natural resting place of the stone doesn't matter so you can move on to measuring how fast or how predictable which is way more useful
