Question Life Science/Biology?
Life Science and Biology, are the two, one in the same? Why is one a sub-forum of the other?

Websters agree with you Kuefler,Biology;the science of life.However if A.I. ever advances it could be discussed in life sciences!

However advance A.I gets, I think it would always be in the branch of computer science, why would it apply to life science?

What is life? Replication,adaption,proliferation,survival all things animals and plants do.AI will probably be capable of all these,without human intervention.Computer science is the intial program but after it's activated and the computer corrects inheritant human flaws,it may not resemble what was intended.Will compromise and call it computer biology!

Computer biology? I've heard of Computational biology, but that refers to the "interdisciplinary field that applies the techniques of computer science, applied mathematics and statistics to address biological problems." That is really the other way around, isn't it?
