It was likely this that didn't get him hired. The story of creation is not supported in astronomic evidence (which, in fact, proves the creation hypothesis wrong)... And he wants to be a professor of astronomy? How can they ensure that the proper information will be conveyed to students? It's like a biologist not believing in evolution. Sure, they probably exist, but they shouldn't expect any respect for their research outside of their religious circle-jerk.
This is the exact prejudice that I was talking about. Just because one has not renounced belief in God does not mean he would look to push doctrine in inappropriate situations.
Nor does it mean he was seeking to teaching these things to students. I have reconciled the genesis account with the evolutionary account "On-line." This does not make me a less effective at my job. Nor does it mean I force this reconciliation onto anyone of my employees.
