Chemistry is a science.
Humans have always been curious about their world. Out of all the animals, we alone were born with a brain that would ask how and why and then search for a suitable answer. Science enables us to study our natural surroundings and acquire new knowledge within an organized system. New knowledge is continually added to our current understandings of the universe. However, the power of science does not lie as much in its current knowledge base as in its continual development of greater learning and understanding.
