They don't see the facts because they won't look at them.

Whether you adhere to this theory or not is your business. What I want to know from you is do you agree with this professor. Not his evolution stance, but his making the "belief" in evolution a requirement.

[DonQ]

Yes, I believe that a medical education should not be wasted on someone who doesn't give credence to evolution, anymore than it should be wasted on someone who believes in faith healing or sympathetic magic. Such a person would not appreciate the value of medical experiences or experiments involving animals, including those that the evolutionists believe are close relatives of humans. Since creationists do not see any family connection between humans and primates, they would be ill-equipped to understand the applicability of medical breakthroughs and demonstrations involving animals.

No. I don't agree with him. It's as silly as a theological school requiring everyone to beleive that the earth is 5000 years old. Or Flat.

The prof in question undermines a fundamental human right, not to mention the constitution. I think he should be fired.

[Torie]

Although I think creationists are wackos from a scientific standpoint, and have no desire to accommodate them in any way, the refusal to give a letter of recommendation is ludicrous, and belief in evolution or the lack thereof is irrelevant to practicing medicine. How did the professor know the student's "beliefs" in any event?

I agree with the professor in the same way that a mathematics professor should insist that the number pi is an irrational number and not 22/7 (unlike the Tennesse legislature in the past - the same ones who stridently supported creationsism).
