Second, I'm sure biologists have a passing knowledge of some mathematics.
And others get Ph.D.s in mathematics. Most mathematics departments have a Math Bio group.
Further, even if biologists can't do math, does it mean they can't do biology? Does a lack of mathematical ability mean creationism is correct? They are different topics.

It means biology is a soft science that should not be taken seriously. If you don't understand mathematics than whatever you understand is only at the level of theology anyway.
