Why doesn't this board consider biology a "science"?

>> No.7230237

Because it doesn't involve enough math.

You may divide sciences in two groups: maths, and collecting butteflies.

>> No.7230280

only envious virgins who study physics and/or maths and cant catch any qt grills, because they dont know how to use a butterfly net, hate on bio

This board is autistic. They only consider valid the math

Exactly. They can magically import all kinds of theoretical bullshit and as long as they can force it to pan our numerically on a chalk board they think they are a genius.

Fug. I wish my professors would buy that crap. I went down a letter grade on a topology take-home test because I failed to see the easy methods of doing several problems and did hard methods instead.

People are just pompous idiots. If you use the scientific method, it is science.

Biology is a science. It's just got lower probabilities of certainty than most physics, since it's harder to control variables.

Even psychology can be a science; though it's rare to have a psychology experiment where the result has a respectable certainty.
