For one thing it has been scientifically proven that faith heals. For another, an atheist who has so little regard for human life that he thinks of it as just a little more advanced than a mouse should not be allowed to make life and death decisions.

You contradict yourself. If you are convinced that scientific = atheist, then why do you care if "science" has proven that "faith heals"? And why are you screaming about "religious discrimination" when you are also stating that atheists should not practice medicine?

You are making a few assumptions here that hurt, not help, your argument. One is that the opposite of Christian is atheist. There are plenty of religions that are not opposed to the concept of evolution (and plenty of Christian demoninations which are not opposed). To say that because this professor requires that the students he recommends believe in one of the fundamental tenets of science is not to discriminate against religious folk. It is (for the sake of this argument) to "discriminate" (your words, not mime) against those adherents to a uniquely American, Protestant sect of Christianity.

In short, the posters on this thread make themselves laughable when they presume to speak for all Christians.

Do not put words in my mouth. I have never said that scientific = atheist. I have said that evolution is not science, it is bunk, it is pseudo-science, it is rhetoric, but it is not science. And yes evolution is both materialistic and atheistic - science is not. Evolution has nothing to do with science and everything to do with atheism - as this 'professor' Dini abundantly shows.
