Psychology - Is it really a science?

[Mao]

As for maths that's different because for any theorem you develop (this is done by pure mathematicians whilst the applied guys use what's already known - am I right?) you can only say is true if there is ABSOLUTELY no counter example to show otherwise. So I personally believe no mathematician can draw a conclusion that is non-verifiable because nobody in the maths community would believe them.

Really? It took a long time until Fermat's Last Theorem was proven. There are a lot of things that are still up-in-the-air.

Science is not about where information come from, not based on some fundamentals of the universe or empirical law drawn from physical observations. Science is a humble mindset that seeks progress and deeper understanding in any discipline, not "my science is more science than your science".

I'm not going to say much more about this topic (I think everyone knows my views), but I am going to say this.

Whoever says the sort of area in psychology that I'm studying at the moment is not a science, deserves a knock on the head to be honest.
