It's not only real, it's very interesting to learn all about rocks, volcanoes, fossils, and all the other things that make up our planet.

The word science comes from the Latin, and means knowledge, or in the verb form to know. Of course geology is a science. It is a large body of important information, and a great deal of that knowledge comes from brilliant theorizing and careful observation. Geologists can't do controlled experiments in the exacly the same way as other sciences, but each branch of 'science' has its unique focus, knowledge base and set of tools. Any study that demonstrably advances knowledge of the physical world is a science. There are some physicists that would argue that fields like Biology/botany are not 'real' sciences or at best are 'soft' sciences, and I don't mean to belittle physicists as a whole. Sciences can be very different from one another and still be vitally important. If the only scientists who ever existed were the physicists, we wouldn't have much useful medicine, would we?
