Again, this is microevolution/mutation.

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

And I say all this stuff as a person who is pretty sympathetic to evolution (my roommate is a YEC, but I keep my mouth shut) since the evidence seems pretty strong.

But, as a conservative Christian, it still worries me that Genesis said it happened in literal days. Plus, there are not gaps in the creation story that would allow for evolution. Animals just appear.

If evolution is true, God's Word is a lie. And, I can't accept the latter or my faith is worthless.

Yes... mutation leads to evolution. There is no "micro vs. macro" distinction.

Heck, we weren't even talking about having an "understanding" of evolution. If a doctor-to-be cannot even comprehend the basic concepts underlying evolution... don't let him near a q-tip. He'll put your eye out.
