That's a veiled ad hominum argument
No, not at all. I'm genuinely curious as to why the OP thinks the opinions of a nuclear physicist are particularly germane when it comes to discussing biology. I assume we wouldn't expect an entomologist to pontificate about neutrinos...
As far as I can tell, it's all still philosophy, and the science that we have, namely molecular biology, breeding and the fossil record do not show evolution as the conclusive final word on how life works.
This puts you in strong disagreement with about 99.5% of all working biologists. Maybe you're right... but I really doubt it.
Read the Coyne book I mentioned. He's considerably less incendiary than Dawkins who does tend to be a bit sarcastic.
