Is biology fake?

ye I mean it's not like you can buy your own microscope and take a look for yourself or anything.

dude did you even read what I've said? I already explained why microscopes aren't proper

you can literally get a camera and record whats happening at a microscopic level. You can see whats in the textbooks actually happening in real time.

You are asking for a slap.

but that doesn't mean anything. how does being able to see it justify what it is? I get that the coloured blobs you can see exist, but that doesn't mean that they're significant. as I said before, we could be trying to make sense of something that's actually really simple, and we're all trying to think up new, complex theories all the time. I'm not criticisng it because it does work, it explains what needs to be explained and it has good use, but that dunt mean it's true

lol that depends how far you want to take it. Would you saw its not true that the diaphram, controls the exapnding and contracting of the lungs, which determines the volume of air going in and out?

And that it is not true that the heart pumps blood around the body? These are things you can see happening. And the fact that something is small doesn't change this tbh

I believe it to be true yeah, but obviously I can't really prove it to myself without cutting someone up :P

and I don't believe that 'biology is fake' as such, just that it could be. potentially we could all be being lied to about everything from medicine and disease to the basics of how our body works. if someone could influence people to believe things about their bodies and whole lifestyle, then realistically they have control over that person (to an extent). it's highly unlikely, but it could happen. Just like to me it's unlikely that scientist's are wrong about everything, but maybe they really are. who knows? that's my point, we can never know...so it only makes sense to question it all, right? so that we can know, or at least know better

Definitely a fake science if you ask me.

In that case I suggest you get a microscope, observe what you see and try to come up with an explanation which fits with the known rules of chemistry and physics.

There's probably a Nobel prize waiting for you if you come up with something which a) works and b) is radically different to what other people have agreed was correct many decades ago.

Science requires faith in the observations of the researcher and the peer review process, but in theory you can check all observations/data yourself if you're sceptical. In practice journals are behind paywalls which I fundamentally disagree with, even though I accept they pretty much have to exist or journals wouldn't be profitable.

Well, why are you singling out biology? We're one of the most macroscopic of the sciences - what about all the physicists and chemists with their tiny little molecules and their quantum mechanics? How do we know they're not all fake?

I don't need to come up with an explanation because I'm satisfied with the current ones, and as you can see I'm not exactly scientifically-minded anyway

In the first sentence of the opening post you question whether or not they're true, which suggests you're not satisfied with them.

All of modern medicine is based on our understanding of human biology and cell biology. Modern medicine works. Hence, biology is not "fake".
