Biology-Degraded?

It all started on a stormy dullish night...Outside the rain was hitting hard against the window panes...A few of us, destined to head the society were huddled together discussing about the latest juicy news of our second home, the recent proclaimed 'Apex' university, Universiti Sains Malaysia....And on the topic of our recent Golden Girl of the year we dwelved into....All praises were bestowed onto her...One friend spotted from her news coverage that she was from the school of Computer Science...Hence, the horror began...That particular friend got so carried away that she somehow blurted out that if that Golden Girl was from the Biology school then there would be nothing to be proud of...Biology is only all about memorising facts ....according to her...I almost got choked while drinking from the bottle...It was devastating enough whatmore it served as an insult to all those in the Biological Sciences field...Well justifically, she was not the first one to present such comments before...I personally had encountered many since I decided to take up the science stream in my upper secondary...People have endless wrong views about this field....Biology is not only about memorising and 'vomitting' out the contents during exams...Try comparing results of those students who actually memorized blindly and with those who actually took the initiative to understand the real principle behind those Biological theories....You think Louis Pasteur and Watson Crick were memorising merely facts when they made their discovery? Nonsence my dear, nonsence...we need researches,understanding as well as the spirit to to work things out in this field..If Biology is hence only everything about memorising, each and every student of the tertiary education in this field could obtained their doctorate in let's say 2 years??Heck....no way....get your facts right people....I am definitely not pro bio just because I am one of them...I just feel that some justice could be done on this...What is our world currently working hard on? Yup, as you could guess it, genetically modified food, a treatment for chronic and fatal diseases and so on...We are living in an era where Biology is playing an important role in mankind's life....To be just relying on your memory would Biology survived until today? I would love to tender my doubts...
