<p>When I was browsing through the CO2014 intended major poll I remembered an argument about whether geology is/is not a science.</p>
<p>Personally I think geology is not a science, and anyone who says it is is conspiring with the government.</p>
<p>I don’t see any reason why it isn’t…</p>
<p>Of course it’s a science. The ones that people say are sciences that are not sciences include but are not limited to political science, economics, anthropology. They are not sciences. That does not make them any less legitimate. But it does mean that it should not be associated with qualities related to science.</p>
<p>Geology is science for alcoholics.</p>
<p>Of course it’s science. In my opinion, any methodical, ‘scientific’ study of the natural world and the universe is ‘science’, so Geology, a subset of Earth Science, would be included with Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Astronomy/Astrophysics as a science.</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t it be?</p>
<p>No. The geology department at every school is actually a front for a mass beer consumption operation.</p>
