No, he really didn't.
I know this is hard for Creationists to accept but a biologist who rejects evolution is like a medical doctor who rejects germ theory. Germ theory is so interwoven into much of how medical science is currently practiced that a lot of it would make no sense if it turned out germ theory was false. Evolution is the same way with biology, from taxonomy to our studies of DNA so much of what we know is founded upon it.
If germ theory were proven false tomorrow, we'd have to account for why it worked so well in producing cures and preventing the spread of disease. It's mind-boggling to think of how it would even be possible. Now imagine the same for evolution. Not only would much of our understanding of biology need to be thrown out, we'd have to explain why it was so effective in both explaining and predicting the diversity of life.
So if you understand why a doctor who rejects germ theory is not off to a good start in his/her medical career, I hope you understand why a biologist who rejects evolution has a similar problem. Biology is a pretty big field in science. I suppose it's possible to study some other field without touching on biology but taking biology out leaves a pretty big hole in our education.
