Hmm. I could say that this is why I chose to study biochemistry, and not physics.

Except that biochemistry is also heavily governed by the laws of probability. And when you get down to it, every science is an application of physics. You just can’t get away from it.

Maybe some physicists don’t like it, but probability seems to be one of the fundamental mechanisms of how reality works.

When a science is generating never-ending stream of extremely complicated theories to explain certain observed phenomena, it could be an indication that the whole approach is flawed. It may be more than their theory being probabilistic.

It happened once in Astronomy. Astronomers had the notion that planets have circular orbits. If that failed to explain their observed motion, they revised their theory to address the issue: a planet is moving along a circular orbit which is also moving along a larger circular orbit. In time they have to create endless number of various nested circular orbits to make their theory fit observed data.

Took a while to realize that the obsession with circle is holding them back.
