Supporting evidence in the harder sciences (physics, chemistry, etc.) is much closer to the mathematical standard than the softer sciences like biology.

Not really - any fool can come up with a series of equations. The trick is showing that these equations actually mean something in the physical world. Take string theory for example. No one is disputing the mathematical correctness of it. It's just that no one has been able to find any way of generating testable predictions from it.

And string theory is not considered proven and even in some circles is not considered science.
