Origin of Statistics from http://www.visionlearning.com/en/library/Process-of-Science/49/Statistics-in-Science/155 Quote:
The field of statistics dates to 1654 when a French gambler, Antoine Gombaud, asked the noted mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal about how one should divide the stakes among players when a game of chance is interrupted prematurely. Pascal posed the question to the lawyer and mathematician Pierre de Fermat, and over a series of letters, Pascal and Fermat devised a mathematical system that not only answered Gombaud's original question, but laid the foundations of modern probability theory and statistics.
Data collection and analysis is a very useful technique in science. We probe to find out what is happening, determine whether there is causation. We question our hypotheses and finally conclude.
