Christian medical students want anti-evolution lectures

These are the future doctors I would not want treating me.

Shouldn't they just go to a Christian medical school instead of dictating curriculum?

Evolution assumes too many extremely improbably events occurring over too short a span of time.

Whereas creationism insists a magic being whipped up the universe from nothing in six days. What's their point again?

LOL...amen brother!

In a related development, other students ask to
teach Tibetan medicine and zen shiatsu therapy
as well. ``Western medicin has only lead to more
suffering. It is time for non-racist ...''

"Evolution" as taught in most schools today is a religion.

Magic being...? Don't stand so close to me. Course their is no magic in belieiving that we all arrived by evolution, yet no one knows what it is that we evolved from. Life form zero.

Course, you might just use the old "lightening zapped a tidal pool" argument. I always liked that story/fable/fairy tale. It seems that evolution should not be taught at all unless the proponents of theory acknowledge there has to be, a priori, something to evolve from, and two, we don't know what that original organism that all life evolved from is.

Oh, that's just too picky. Let's go ahead with evolution without caveats, we seem to be so much more high-brow that way.

PING. [This ping list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and sometimes for other science topics. FReepmail me to be added or dropped.]

I'm just glad to know that there are still some real Christian believers left in Norway.

2 There is no fossil evidence to indicate transitional forms between, for example, fish and land animals or apes and humans.

How did these idiots get into medical school? They must have been fingerpainting in their undergrad bio courses.

Where and when.

Thank you so much for the ping! The selected issues are quite interesting.

Funny how a biology department would insist on teaching a view of origins that is entirely incompatible with their own observedly and heretofore unbroken Law of Biogenesis.

We have never observed life springing from non-life in the natural world nor the laboratory. We are being asked to believe that what has never been observed to actually happen somehow did happen in the primeval past? When someone can create a living cell out of a bunch of non-living amino acids I'll plant my foot firmly in my mouth. Until then, I'm interested in what you can prove, not your faith. Believing evolution is incontrovertible fact requires just as much faith as the creationist.

How many posts will it take before this thread is kicked into the Smokey Backroom?

All lies. Here is the truth...
