Why is there such a thing called Computer Science? Shouldn’t all computer stuff be called computer engineering?

As i understand it, Science is basically making sense of nature and natural laws/phenomenons. Way is it called computer science even though humans literally invented the machine and (as a species) know everything there is to know about it?

It is a bit oddly named. Generally speaking, Computer Science is a theoretical field. It’s not about computers, but about computation.

In some languages it is named after data instead or information, which makes it a bit clearer. It’s the science of data and the processing of data. Computers are just a helpful tool which can make our computations go faster.
