"I am a physician and Darwin has absolutely nothing to add to my scientific thought or practice. I have never and did never really even think about it much. I is not something I use."

Oh I think evolution has added a lot. It taught physicians that tonsils and appendixes were useless. It even taught physicians that there should be no harm to removing tailbones to the unfortunate chagrine of those who had their's removed. It taught us to focus only on protein coding aspect of DNA and to ignore the rest as "junk", "evolutionary leftovers". It's added a lot that just wasn't true.

You are lucky if you've managed to avoid the influence of evolution.

No it didn't. Please stop telling lies about evolutionary biology.

Such as? Try some real examples for a change instead of ideas that were held because that's what the evidence at the time indicated, and not as you falsely claim due to any fault of evolutionary biology itself generating false conclusions out of thin air or due to flaws in the evolutionary paradigm.

Look, just admit that evolutionary biology is the boogeyman to you, and that as a result you're going to blame everything from tooth decay to the Great Depression on it no matter how non-existent the connection.

How would you know? You've managed to avoid the influence of an education on the subjects you spout off about.
