Most MDs dont understand the molecular mechanism of the drugs they perscribe. Does this somehow invalidate all of the underlying science that went into discovering that drug? . . . So what exactly is your point?

I think you just made my point for me: The theory of evolution is irrelevant to many fields, including medicine.

Wonderful. What was your point again?

I will try one more time. You accused me (in Post #179) of promoting Luddism because (you believe) I oppose pure science—including the subject of this thread, evolution. I was defending myself against that accusation.

The theory of evolution is irrelevant to many fields, including medicine.

Wow. I think you have a serious reading comprehension problem.

Where exactly did I say it was irrelevant?

On the contrary it is extremely relevant to medicine. Without biomedical research (you know the guys in the lab white coats who actually discover and design the drugs that doctors prescribe) physicians would still be using leeches and shaking rattles.

Capiche?

Your logic in a nutshell:

I do not need to understand the workings of an internal combustion engine to drive a car, therefore the science behind it is irrelevant to driving.
