Biology isn't a soft science. Just squishy. It's not as austere as physics and astronomy, but I regard it as one of the "hard sciences."

Now archaeology, that a hard science. Can't tell you how many rattlers I have had to kick off the trails (they're pretty good sauteed in white wine, a little olive oil, etc.--but the little ones are way too bony).

Certainly, Molecular Biology is a pretty 'hard' science.
