IMHO as a layman:
1. Do you consider psychology a science? why
Yes, because it attempts to use scientific methods (as I understand them) to quantify it's findings.
2. Is Psychology more or less of a science in comparison to other fields such as physics, biology? why
I think it is just as much a science as the other fields. The subject matter may be a bit more ambiguous and hard to tie down though. I know it may be considered soft when compared to something like physics but physics has it's share of unknown (or weird) phenomina as well. I think I read that on the quantum level they are up to something like 11 dimensions in order to make the formulas work.
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of psychology?
One of it's strengths is that it is the human mind trying to understand it's own (and others like it) activities and behavior so the psychologist has the benefit of his/her own behavior to compare with. (this could also be considered a weakness by some)
One of it's weaknesses is that theories of behavior are hard to quantify by formula and/or experimentation. Human behavior is not as simple as Pavlov's dogs, LOL.
