I heard biology is a weak science.

Is this true?

Maybe some faggots started trolling with it. But that's actually how most of the theoretical physics/math people on /sci/ view it.

Calling it a weak science was a legitimate insult. Just because some people start using it to troll with doesn't mean every time someone brings it up it's supposed to be a joke

Depends on the area of biology you're in.

I hate it when people define everything as science. From my standpoint, the only thing that counts as science are disciplines that use the scientific method as their methodology. No, just because it is empirical doesn't mean it is science.
