Yep, absolutely, outside of his specialty, he is as unqualified as anyone else.

This is pretty meaningless, since I guess everyone is unqualified outside their specialty. Remember, this thread was about someone who couldn't get a letter of recommendation to go to Med school because he didn't believe in evolution. Evolution has no application in medicine that I know of. The evolutionists all seem to think this makes sense, since it indicates he lacks a "scientific mind". PatrickHenry compared it to someone who wants to study math who doesn't believe 2+2=4. So if this is true, no one who doesn't believe in evolution is qualified to be a scientist in any specialty. Therefore, I assume you wouldn't hire Raymond Jones in his specialty.

if he was an activist or someone who proselytized on the job, he would fired in a New York minute.

This has nothing to do with prosletyzing. It's about whether someone can be as competent a doctor or scientist if they don't believe in evolution as those who do.

All evolutionists don't agree. A quick perusal of this thread will show you that. We have stated that a belief in creationism can be a negative indication for a career in science for which evolution is relevant. Medicine does not fall into this category.

Who cares what lawyers think about who should be an MD? You might take note that three Ph.D. scientists have weighed in against Professor Dini.

Yep. Have you ever had to ask for a letter of recommendation? Ever been asked? Ever refused a request? I have been on both sides and I believe the doc can set any criteria he wants for such a letter. If you object to his criteria, too bad.
