Is Evolutionary Biology a "Soft" Science?

And yet cancer research has plenty of irreproducible results and is considered less reliable than a field like astronomy, which has no experiments.

Every science has irreproducible results. Cancer also has many reproducible results. The issue is what you claim when you get irreproducible results that demarcates whether you are making a scientific claim or an ideological one.
