You are wrong...

Some biologists are quasi-scientists, just like some physicists are quasi-scientists.

A molecular biologist working on engineering organisms in-eutero is a hard scientist.
A physicist buttfucking around with useless theories of everything is a shit tier scientist.

This board actually has a high female population, just incognito.

My reasoning? Men aren't little bitches. Everywhere I look everyone is complaining about some FIELDS OF SCIENCE that doesn't agree with their particular taste, or decent threads that get imagesacked by some faggot who is being an elitest asshole. Men actually have some sense of honor and respect, where as women just simply want to have fun. If they're not having fun, they'll become the biggest bitches in the world, wherein you can heavily relate them to anyone on this board. If you've ever been in a semi-longterm relationship you would know what I'm talking about.

So yes, this board is populated mainly in women. But why do they guise themselves as men? Because they think they're being clever; they can bond with the guys without getting told 'tits or gtfo'. When in fact what they're -actually- doing is tricking -other- women into thinking their men. All that's going on here is women pretending to be men, to women pretending to be men, while the men lurk until something intellectual or respectable comes along and posts only then.

You cannot refute this deductive reasoning.
It is true, and there's nothing we can do.
This extra bit of bitchy flavor has become our current seasoning.
Understanding this may turn more than some blue.
Continue to browse with your ignorance and denial.
But go and see, for this board has become the woman's aisle.

All sciences are complimentary, it is irrelevant which is "hardest". If you take more pride in having a superior field than in actually doing something to progress the knowledge of mankind then you shouldn't be a scientist.

It's truly remarkable that anyone thinks being successful in Biology is an accomplishment. There's no thinking, no logic, it's all just facts that you have to memorize. Hardly on par with any other type of science.

Nope, I'm starting my undergrad in physics next week.
I'm pretty sure that it's been proven any geometric unification of gravity with the standard model would not predict anything the two don't already.

Although I did hesitate in writing that, because it's not entirely useless in theory, but neither is learning how to train sharks...

has the word "chemistry" in it for a reason

if you're going to make the claim "welp since organic chemistry is within the bounds of biology then it counts as biology!" you might as well make the claim that studying physics means studying biology too.

No, stop being a giant retard. Your reply doesn't even merit a response since you didn't try to make a rebuttal towards either of the posts you quoted (because you have no argument) but being the giant literal retard you are it pains me to see you ignorant.

Biology is a giant fucking umbrella and a lot of things fall under it.

Just because that's true, doesn't mean everything that fucking falls under it is biology. Physics isn't biology. Mathematics isn't biology. Chemistry isn't biology. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is not biology.

Just because Biology takes things from those, does not mean they're biology.

Stop posting.

I don't understand. Biology _is_ memorization. if you didn't have to do anything in your biology class, you obviously went to like a community college.

Who are you to criticize the school choice of others?

Again, if you think biology is memorization, you clearly go to a shit tier school. You might have picked it, but you picked poorly.

Biology is the study of life. There is some memorization involved, but it is more about making observations about the world around you and discovering why those things happen.

Enjoy your shit tier school.

First of all, those two post are by two different people.
Secondly, YOU don't get it.
The original post wasn't saying that organic chemistry IS biology, but that organic chemistry relies on memorisation AND is a respected science, so relying on memorisation doesn't mean that something can't be a hard science.
You were just focusing on the words instead of the actual sciences that they represent.
But that's ok - I've explained now.

Wow, if you think biology is only memorization, you have never taken any biology courses beyond introductory biology.
Intro bio is memorization mostly, that is true, but once you get into upper division genetics, evolution, molecular biology and biochemistry, its more problem solving and logic based.
