Well Dmcq you have to provide a historical record like Book of Optics by Ibn al-Haytham. Historians of science who are notable enough to have articles on Wikipedia have backed Ibn al-Haytham as the first scientist. Also the sources I provided says the about Ibn al-Hatytham in wider context that was the whole point. For Isambard Kingdom, Ibn al-Haytham Book of Optics was the first historical record of experiment and its data which is scientific method which spawn science as a field. Before Ibn al-Haytham science as subject did not exist, closest subject to science was philosophy.
