  Natural science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Natural science most generally is the rational study of the things we know about, the universe via rules or laws of natural order rather than divine actions involving a human-like consciousness exercising its control over all things at whim.
Together, the natural and applied sciences are distinguished from the social sciences on the one hand, and from the humanities, theology and the arts on the other.
In this sense "natural sciences" can be an alternative phrase for biological sciences, involved in biological processes, or perhaps also the earth sciences, as might distinguished from the physical sciences (more directly involved in the study of physical and chemical laws underlying the universe).

 CLEP: Natural Sciences
The Natural Sciences examination covers a wide range of topics frequently taught in introductory courses surveying both biological and physical sciences at the freshman or sophomore level.
The Natural Sciences exam is not intended for those specializing in science; it is intended to test the understanding of scientific concepts that an adult with a liberal arts education should have.
To prepare for the Natural Sciences exam, it is advisable to study one or more college textbooks (selecting at least one biological science and one physical science textbook), which can be found in most college bookstores.

 Engels and natural science
The great danger is of 'observing natural objects and processes in isolation, apart from their connection with the vast whole; of observing them in repose not in motion; as constants, not as essentially variables; in their death, not in their life'.
He warns that breaking apart, considering separately aspects of nature, 'justifiable and necessary as it is in a number of domains whose extent varies according to the nature of the particular object of investigation, sooner or later reaches a limit, beyond which it becomes one-sided, restricted, abstract, lost in insoluble contradictions.
Until then a central belief in all explanations of nature was the sharp distinction between the Moon and the Earth and the rest of the heavens, the 'sublunary' and 'superlunary' spheres in the language of the day.

 Can we defuse the global warming time bomb?
It is sometimes suggested that the recent ~1% per year growth rate of CO emissions is an aberration resulting from the collapse of the Soviet Union's economy and is affected by possible under-reporting of China's emissions.
On the contrary, the demise of inefficient systems is natural and there is much room for further gains in efficiency.
Furthermore, stabilization of atmospheric composition by the end of the century eventually will require substantial reductions in CO emissions.
