Indeed. We shall have to agree to disagree.

One final point from my end: rather than sweeping the "supernatural" off the table of science, the orthodoxy of biological sciences sweeps away non-corporeals also: qualia, semiosis, information, mathematical structures, geometry and so on.

Fortunately, physics is epistemologically zealous and will always see when other disciplines refuse even to look.

We too must agree to disagree. I think you'll find that when math is called for, or even [gasp!] geometry, biology employs those tools. These are a few examples that I found in about 30 seconds:
Protein folding.
Mechanical properties of DNA.
On The Computational Power of DNA.
