I also have a bad attitude to what you are saying - worse, in fact.

You say physics and chemistry are the only deep uses of math, and illustrate that with a physics example to define "deep", and a biology example to define "shallow". That's not meaningful at all: it's circular logic (i.e. bad mathematics).

Without math, we would have a much poorer understanding of population biology. Your population biology example was from 1926 and the state-of-the-art has moved on - so you have badly represented the subject. I suggest that your personal understanding of biology is where the shallowness really lies.

The parent commenter has made a genuine effort to understand you and offer you some advice, despite your bullshit. You should thank them.
