== == The distinction between hard and soft sciences is commonly misconceived as a measure of how "easy" or understandable it is to non-scientists. However, it's actually refering to the accuracy of the science itself. Hard sciences rely on empirical and - most importantly - falsifiable evidence. The emphasis is strongly on the importance of objectivity in all aspects of study. Biology slots neatly into this category - everything you study in biology (however simple or 'common sense' it may appear) relies on accurate, objective and empirical evidence. An example of a "soft science", in the true meaning of the phrase, would be psychology. While there's an attempt to maintain objectivity in some psychological approaches, the nature of what's being studied (the mind) inevitably lends itself to an element of subjectivity. Psychologists tend to vary on their approach to study (whether cognitive, humanistic, etc.) whereas biologists - as all scientists - are generally unified in the scientific approach.

What is the difference between hard science and soft science?
Hard science is difficult to solve and needs more time to dedicate to it to solve, in the other hand soft science is easier and needs less time to dedicate to it. Hard science uses mathematics to quantify the physical world, and to make predictions based on mathematics. Soft sciences rely almost exclusively on observations without much in the way of mathematics to back up their "facts."
