As I've written elsewhere, my policy (which I've never had to apply) is simply to note in the letter that the student has creationist beliefs, since this is likely to be relevant to certain medical fields, and let the Med. School make its own decision. But the faculty member is well within his rights. Creationists want to enjoy the fruits of modern biology while denying its foundations. Modern medicine is become increasingly genome-based. The genome makes no sense except in the context of evolution.

Is it religious discrimination to deny an Amish a job as a truckdriver because he won't drive a vehicle fueled by an interal combustion engine?

The horse // buggy // whip is evolution . . . snake oil - - - carnival tricks // side shows and freaks !

Science has been paraded like show animals and taken over by quacks and hooligans !

Your Amish truckdriver comparison is a faulty one. This casts doubt on your deductive reasoning skills. Which in turn raises questions about your credibility on this whole issue.

Inapt analogy.

Being able to do technical molecular biological or biochemical work is not dependent on any belief system.
