Why is Biology a soft science?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:28:17 2011 No.4083862 Because organic tissue is soft. Hard sciences like chemistry and physics deal with metals, rocks and other things that are hard, hence the name.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:30:42 2011 No.4083871 >>4083862 Bullshit, there are plenty of brittle and soft things in chemistry and physics. Such as foams.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:33:58 2011 No.4083880 >>4083862 This is honestly why women think that science is sexist. That is a terrible generalization and a disgusting manipulation.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:36:12 2011 No.4083891 >>4083880 Women are stupid, so who cares what they think about the manly pursuit of science.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:36:21 2011 No.4083893 >>4083891 It's only manly if it's a hard science. wink

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:38:28 2011 No.4083901 >>4083893 are you sure you're not thinking of engineering?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:41:53 2011 No.4083910 Why do people pick on biology, when geology is easier?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:45:17 2011 No.4083924 File: 30 KB, 355x342, 1278191035358.jpg [View same] [iqdb] [saucenao] [google] Engineering is gay. Biology is a soft science. Evolution is just a theory (a geuss). Fucking magnets, how do they work? >PhD in mathematics >any job I want >300k starting

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:46:33 2011 No.4083930 >Picking on Biology. Enjoy not knowing anything about living stuff faggots. Enjoy your cold, machine-like science.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 00:54:21 2011 No.4083956 remember that time biology did something productive for society? oh yeah it didn't
