Thanks for the comment. As someone who studied biological science but loved geology, I still went another direction in my working life. Ordinarily, the people I speak with who are evolutionists are prone to personal attacks, such as the ‘collegiate courses’ implication made to me in an earlier post on this thread. The ‘nose in the air’ person is a type I see frequently in my own life. I turn the other way now, and simply don’t engage, as I am no longer willing to prove my educational background or professional accomplishments to anyone.
By the way, I would not have expected any scientist to be a theist, which tells you something about the people I have met that are in science.
I have undergraduate degrees in biology as well as general science. I have an MD degree. I am a theist (devout Christian) and actually a YEC, although that is a whole nother kettle of fish.
Not all scientists are atheists. I know many that are not. My husband graduated from MIT with a degree in chem engineering and he is the most devout Christian husband and father you could hope to meet.
