He said "all science is either physics or stamp collecting"
Or maybe he's upset about what Pauli (Another great Physicist and Nobel prize winner) said
On learning his wife had left him he said "If she'd left me for a bullfighter I would have understood..but for a Chemist!!???"
I guess chemists pick on Biologists, Physicists pick on Chemists - Perhaps Mathematicians pick on physcists - but nobody can understand a word they say so we'll probably never know! :c)
Well now, the teacher could mean this in a couple of ways
as jake suggests, a reductionist view of science is that biology is basically chemistry applied to living organisms. The chemistry teacher may be joking that biology is just a sub-branch of chemistry.
He may be a creationist and disagree with the values of evolutionary biology.
either way he is wrong.
