==Every new drug, cell line, animal model, grant proposal, research study- all of them, at one point or another, describe their mechanism in the context of evolution.
Pure BS.
“The biomedical sciences have flourished because they are experimental and have direct practical applications. But their success is based on a profound lack of interest in the question of how the organisms we study were formed. As long as we can fix the machines, we do not care how they were designed—and many rest content with the idea of a supernatural Designer. Evolution requires an interest in origins, and an acceptance of the different techniques needed to study them, which is simply not shared by many biologists.”

That’s a funny little quote. Go get a job in research with it.
Make sure you place it in your cover letter, or better, scrawl it into your lab notes for reference at review time — right before you are fired for not producing anything.
