As a physicist, I have never met a secular or religious peer who has said this about evolution, ever. And I have discussed the topic widely, at universities and at national laboratories.

Fair enough. My sample has been limited to U of MN and MIT. But I would guess miscommunication between us about what we're talking about is more likely than a profound difference in the nature of our respective colleagues.

Perhaps the difference is that physics specialists tend to see all other sciences as ‘more soft science’ than physics? Math specialists tend to think physics is “softer’ than pure math, though the more theoretical realms of both tend to be somewhat “detached”, shall we say?

Most scientists seem to consider the soft sciences like psych and sociology as “all soft, no science’.
