Nope, his concurrence acknowledges the existence of DNA entailing his belief in genes.

He literally said he couldn't concur with the first portion that just summed up the facts we know about the basic workings of genes.

Because he can't "affirm those details on [his] own knowledge or even [his] own belief."

I read it. He clearly acknowledged the existence of DNA. No where did he say he didn't believe in molecular biology or genes. He said he couldn't affirm some details.

In this age of instant information gathering there is no excuse for someone in such a position to be ignorant on the subject which he would be making a ruling on. Choosing to remain ignorant is inexcusable.
