Just to pour oil on troubled fires:

Should one deny recommendation to a physics student who "doesn't believe in complex numbers"?

Should one deny recommendation to a math major who "doesn't believe in Lebesque measure"?

Should one deny recommendation to an aircraft engineer who "doesn't believe in Bernoulli's principle"?

Just to pour oil on troubled fires:

The issue is really quite simple: Should someone be recommended for advanced scientific studies when he willfully sweeps aside a rational explanation of the evidence (perhaps even sweeping aside the evidence itself) and instead prefers to believe in miracles as providing a better account for the phenomenon in question? To me, anyone is free to believe anything he wants, but a successful career in science requires a rational mindset.
