Whereas population genetics depends on analysis of evolutionary forces, YECism, ID, OECism, etc,...all also incorporate evolutionary forces into their theories and models. Adaptation and speciation are components or accepted by creationism and ID as well. So imo, the argument that ToE is a prerequisite for population genetics is fallacious argument which essentially restates the same logical error in claiming micro-evolution equals ToE.
Micro-evolution is not the same as ToE, regardless of how much evos want to say it is. They are 2 distinct concepts, related for sure, but not the same.
wiki reference below (always to be taken with a grain of salt)
Population genetics is the study of the distribution of and change in allele frequencies under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and migration. It also takes account of population subdivision and population structure in space. As such, it attempts to explain such phenomena as adaptation and speciation.
