Well, I suppose you could call biology a sort of soft science- there are just way too many variables and unknowns when dealing with living things.
? Science *deals* with the unknown - otherwise there would be no need for experimentation and discovery... so I'm baffled by the suggestion that because any given field deals with unknowns, it cannot be considered a 'science'.
Medicine I would definitely call a religion. I intend no offense to anyone here, especially those who may be MD's. This is my opinion based on my experiences with the doctors here.
The 'practice' of 'modern medicine' is definitely not a science - it is a commercial endeavor. Many 'Doctors' would be more appropriately be called 'Pharmaceutical Salesmen'... but this is changing. More and more doctors are learning about traditional medicine (ala Hippocrates)...
The absolutely wonderful things about science is that we learn. Nothing is written in stone, it is not dogma, it is a field of study.
That depends entirely on the 'scientist' in question... the 'scientists' that persecuted Galileo were practicing dogma, not science.
got an example about the chemistry?
Heh - not off the top of my head, but suggesting otherwise would mean that the vast body of knowledge that makes up the science of chemistry just occurred spontaneously... ;)
