As PH says, any field of study that includes "science" in its name
isn't one.

Umm ... how about computer science?

Nothing scientific about that.

Nothing? Perhaps you are unaware of some of the research going on this
area.

I know people who teach computer science. I am unaware of any genuine
scientific (or practical) content. A little math here and there maybe.




How about medical science? Again, some of the research going on there is
scientific.

Do you mean medicine? Or biology? Or biochemistry? Or oncology? I'm
not sure what "medical science" is. I don't know anyone who calls
themselves a "medical scientist."




How about physical science?

Are you referring to Physics? Chemistry? Optics? Does any university
have a School of Physical Science?

Maybe "Materials Science" is a real science that uses the word
"science." Maybe. But most physicists and chemists would consider it
to be engineering.

There was a little bit of science in the 'Earth Science' I took in 9th
grade. I do remeber weighting things in terms of 'beads' and then
making graphs in the note book.

Most people who actually do "earth science" call themselves
geologists.

Not gynecologists?

Sorry, I know, bad! I'm just trying to blend in with the rest of them
here.
