Well I don't know what else to tell you other than you may have been shortchanged there in your scientific education. I have been studying biology for over 10 years (5 at the graduate level) and the theory of evolution is a major part of the curriculum.
since the TOE doesn't actually provide much. For example, suppose I am a geneticist looking for the genetic cause of a disease. Do I look up on the wall at my framed TOE statement that "Evolution is caused by natural selection, which is driven by mutation" and go, AHA! This predicts the problem! This tells me where to look!
Huh? This statement is as valid as saying an electrician can rewire a house without knowledge of QED, so therefore QED "doesn't provide much".
Doesn't help me either. Guess I just have to get back to real science. You know, lab work. Observation. Recording data.
Again, without a unifying theory, you are stamp collecting. Your'e just a technician going through the motions without knowing why.
You have just made a valid statement. The QED doesn't provide much -- to the electrician. And not just to the electrician. Electrical theory as a whole doesn't depend upon the QED for squat. You are making my point back to me. Not even antenna theory needs QED. Not to say that QED isn't valid, it is. But it isn't applicable to electrical theory in any pragmatic way.
The only thing that the TOE contributes to genetics is the concept that mutations happen - spontaneously, due to radiation, or other mutagens. But that concept could be understood without the baggage of the TOE.
