Which Comes First: Science or Art?

The other day I was listening to an interesting episode of StarTalk Radio, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson.  In it he was having a discussion with his co-host on which comes naturally first in a child:  science or art?  It's an interesting question that doesn't necessarily have a correct.  Tyson argued that science comes first to a child because children are naturally inquisitive.  They dig into things and explore because it interests them.  Art can come early, but science is there from the very beginning.  Even young babies are exploring with their senses.  They look around.  They grab things.  They put everything in their mouth!  They are doing science through experimentation!

I tend to agree with Tyson on this.  Although my daughters love art now and are always painting and drawing pictures, their lives started with a love of science.  They didn't know what science was at the time, but they were constantly seeking out and discovering new information in their lives using their senses.  That's science!
