They too believed that at its core, biology could be described using maths, physics and
chemistry
But there is something else, some vital force, some ESSENCE that gives living things life
Inductive reasoning
o Inverted Pyramid
o If the rule holds for most then the rule is good because you can extrapolate on your
observations
Can accept both theories together
Ex - Giraffe
Lol
Organicists
Giraffe
Giraffes eat food at shoulder height and not at the top of the tree
If the giraffe dont stretch their necks to feed then the food competition theory is
disproven
The head is used like a flail
o The head is used as weapon
Theory
Is the strongest most investigated way that can be used to describe science
b/c inductive reasoning is used, there is a potential left to leave it open and if an exception
might occur (b/c we extrapolate)
General public uses physical sciences logic (Laws and Facts)
Was first a hypothesis
Hypothesis was then tested and more proof was added
Then it becomes a theory
Hypothesis is not a guess
o Comes from literature eview, protocols and design and extensive obeservation
Darwins Theory is not a law because it is not universal
o Only applies to Earth (as far as we know)
Water the conditions to dissolve the back building blocks to devise life
o Then biological princible becomes law
Mendels LAWS are the only biological science field that has laws
o b/c it was the mathematics of paired structures alleles
o b/c of 50% chance of allees
o And the mathematics associated with paired allees
Prediction
Sampling Error
