Biology isn't a real scientific field? And Neither is Astronomy? oh and ecology too? Philosophy is the only where that isn't scientific...Quote:

Ergo, fields that aren't really science, so I don't care about. xDQuote:

I take back the Astronomy, as long as it includes Astrophysics. Not the rest. Biology is applied chemistry and chemistry is applied Physics.
I count how much of a science it is by the amount of math you need to do it. The count at biology is zero, which means it's only studying nice pictures of bodies, which means that the local kids who managed to get hold of a playboy are as much of a scientist as that. :p
Just joking, but I do stand behind the fact that it isn't a science
edit: Actually, now that I think about it, my friends back in the US and me once had a talk about that none of the things ending on -gy is a science, but that was let go because of metrology, which is a science.
Dude. You can't just make up your own definition of science and then go around labeling things "science" and "not science". Biology is a science. It's just a fact.
As for Aliens, I hope they exist, but I somehow doubt it. I'm not talking about fungus or bacteria, I'm talking full fledged intelligent beings. If they are out there, I don't think they'd be anything like us. If there were beings out there who are intelligent and have civilizations and cultures, I would be delighted. I think that would be amazing.
The Drake Equation is a load of bullocks, imho.Quote:

Actually I did, check the alt-text. :p
I do not believe in Aliens because God would not create another race. Human Beings are his favored children and therefore, it would be religiously impossible for another intelligent race to exist on a planet that is not Earth.
Ergo my Eggo, Iago.
I had a feeling AK was referencing xkcd without refering in hopes that people would think him original.
As for aliens im pretty sure they exist somewhere.
Yeah all of the ologys are in fact forms of science.
Humans admitadtly dont know anything i mean we dont even know how our own bodys completley work so im sure theres a lot of difrent ways to search the univers we dont even know about
I learnt all I know about physics from reading xkcd.
P.s. It's not that I don't believe in aliens, it's just that I don't really care.
Robert Heinlein would like a word with you.Quote:

Europa is Jupiter’s moon. Sorry I... just had to be a dick. I know what you mean, though, with the ocean under the ice and all that jazz.
There is a probe on Saturn’s moon Titan, though. I was actually just thinking about that today... to look at Saturn (or roughly in its direction), and there is something man-made on one of its moons. Fancy that! Something so far away and there are members of my species that have managed to tickle it with their technology. I think that’s pretty swell. That’s just one among many but... whatever.
As to whether or not there’s life somewhere else in the Universe, I’d say yeah. Sure. It’s a pretty big place, so there’s a lot of possibilities. Will we ever know about it? I don’t really see that happening. It’s kind of unfortunate, you know, I kinda wish I could experience that. Yeah, it’s Mars’s fault for being a barren little bastard. It was our closest chance and everything else is just... too far away.
Stupid bacteria.
