> I merely questioned whether the theory of evolution has anything to do with a student's suitability to practice medicine.

Indeed it does. A doctor who rejects evolution by definition will be takena bit by surprise when the next evolution of the avian flu kills everyone around him.

Logoboy is full of it.

I almost prefer my creationists to be of the brazen YEC variety. At least the Clintonian spin-doctoring is kept to a minimum with those folks.

Again, this is microevolution/mutation.

You have still failed to show why an understanding of evolution is required to be a good doctor.

All taxonomy of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, viri, (prions?), etc. are evolutionary based.
