Is Biology a science?

Wait until you're working so much harder and so many more hours than them and see if you still want no extra kudos.

And physics is basically all Maths.

so in conclusion Maths is the only true science.

Clearly older than you as I'm coming out of the rear end of a Physics degree and you have yet to start one.

I thought the same as you once. Three years of ballbreaking work and being abused by your Department while you watch others actually enjoy their degree and have time for (gasp) extracurriculars will change your outlook.

You will expect a reward for working so much harder than others. I guarantee it.

There's a difference, Physics uses maths as a tool, to show something, to communicate it, Maths is a science, but many consider it an art, something to be admired, something beautiful.

Maths is nothing really, not on it's own, it's application is what makes it useful

Also chemistry also has it's own laws about particle interactions at a larger scale.

That's literally the opposite of my argument

Are you high?

That Australian guy is an idiot. Of course biology can tell us what life is, that's the first thing you learn in school.

And of course it is a science! Its a system of gathering knowledge using the scientific method, therefore its a science. And it is not all chemistry: zoology, animal behaviour, biophysics, genetics, none of that is chemistry.

Yes - so it is just applied maths. Just as chemistry is more applied physics. And Biology is more specifically applied Chemistry.

Sure, there are crossovers, but if you want to argue Biology isn't a science because it is applied chemistry you may as well nothing is a science because really at the end of the day they all stem from Maths.

I was trolling, clearly every subject is not just Maths :P (well it kindof is but I mean they are and should be accepted as standalone sciences)

But Physics and Chemistry both have their own laws, not related to any other subject, not maths or anything which can be proven. Physicists and Chemists know what they are studying.

I thought you were

Yeah just because pretty much everything in science comes from maths doesn't make it any less of a science.

Let me get this straight. Biology is not a science because it doesn't have it's own laws? It is not a science because a lot of biology is intertwined with chemistry, which is a science? Biologists don't know what they are studying?

I can't see any valid point you have.

A mathematician would no doubt argue otherwise.

Here, read this love: http://www.americanscientist.org/bookshelf/pub/is-biology-reducible-to-the-laws-of-physics

well, how about this, my arms behave differently to the rest of my body, they have immense control and they can do everything so precisely, it is intertwined with my body but surely they must be separate organisms.

It's not our fault that you aren't intelligent enough to manage your time efficiently.

Heavily flawed logic, completely unrelated to what I just said. Not to mention the fact that you seemed to be discussing human anatomy, which I believe is a sub-topic of biology. A topic that has no chemistry involved whatsoever. You've just shown that your own point is wrong, and that biology can in some instances be completely distinct from chemistry.

I never said they were superior, just that I reject it's a true science, and this is an actual debate, not something I've pulled out of a hat.

why do they not know what makes something live? Well they study another field



Can be proven via Chemistry tbh

Mendel’s second law is only valid for genes located in different chromosomes. For genes situated in the same chromosome, i.e., linked genes (genes in linkage) the law is not valid since the segregation of these genes is



Basically everything in biology can be explained (and most, if not all is explained) through chemistry

You're going to fit right in at Cambridge with all of the other self-entitled arrogant *****.

See, I can do personal attacks too.

Prove to me the laws of Thermodynamics using only mathematical principles and laws, No physic experimentation just maths.
