Is biology fake?

Nobody did. I doubt Oxford and Imperial would have entire degrees dedicated to it if it were a fake science.

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

It's all so intricate and specific that I think maybe it isn't true; it seems a possibility that someone made it all up in order to stop people questioning deeper things. Why should ordinary people believe that cells have a golgi apparatus, or that a simple piece of bread is made up of some proper complex chemicals and stuff?

People will argue that biological theories are true because they make sense, that they explain life...but plenty of things can be used to explain life. How do we know that chicken contains such tiny things, and instead isn't just made of chicken? Yeah we can look down a microscope, but if an average person looked down a microscope they wouldn't be able to make 'sense' of it. It would just be colours and blobs. They're pressured into believing that what they see represents something more, so maybe microscope experts have been doing it for so long that their brain just makes them see what they're seeing and to keep them sane they tell themselves that what they're looking at isn't *just* chicken?

I'm only considering this theory because I regret taking biology and I want to justify my failure in it :P but maybe I'm right?

Look up peer-review, one scientist cannot declare something the truth without others checking techniques, methodology, data etc

...It simply isn't practical to demonstrate complex biology to every single person, since most people will never use it. But if you really wanted it "proving" to you, you could go and learn about it, do a degree, and find that the facts you're being taught are for the most part perfectly demonstrable. You could look down microscopes and do experiments and have your peers review them to "prove" Biology to yourself.

You may want to look into "peer review". The great thing about science is that if something doesn't make sense, it's investigated and tested, and is constantly developing, changing and correcting itself. It's not like one dude comes up with an idea and everyone just accepts it as the gospel truth forevermore!

But isn't that the case with everything? We learn from what others tell us, we just have to believe it is true as we can never really know ourselves.

If you can read you'll be able to see that I've already praised biology for this exact reason. I've acknowledged that it works, and that's the main reason that I 'believe' in it. I support scientists because the things they 'discover' are useful, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the scientists'understanding of it is true.

exactly, we can never really know for ourselves. that's what I've been trying to say all along ._.

If the scientists' understanding of biology wasn't correct, they wouldn't be able to use that understanding to make predictions about the world and find that those predictions come true. They certainly wouldn't be able to design new drugs.

If I believe in God, then that could explain nearly everything: god created trees, god created babies etc. But I don't believe in god, so I turn to science.

How does the belief that science works negate or dismiss the existence of God?

There's something called trust.

I didn't say it did? But if I believed that God controls everything just by magic, then I wouldn't need to have faith in science because god *just makes it happen*.

You could publicly announce your faith with a dramatic demonstration of God's power over scientific arrogance. According to mainstream biology (clearly atheistic propaganda), the botulinum toxin is 'believed', theoretically, to have a lethal effect because of its effect on vesicle fusion. It would be a dramatic demonstration of the base falsity of science and government lies, and a concomitantly forceful declaration of your momentous faith if you could take a dose of this in public and have your so called "neural vesicles" (even though only scientists in their little cult have seen them) emerge unscathed.
