I certainly wouldn't limit the scope to only those who believe in the religion of evolution.

Blind faith in any scientific theory is automatically misguided, this is true. But isn't really what Dr. Dini is asking for, I don't think. He is asking for our current best theory, scientifically speaking - No more, no less.

Now, if you please, let's get back to the questions I asked:

Which interpretation of which religion shall we have people understand and believe in, as a criterion for getting into medical school?

Or shall we be more general and fair about it, and use any sort of religious belief as a criterion for medical school, including religions where, for instance, Creation is addressed differently (or not at all), or where people believe in prayer as the only acceptable means of healing?

Looking forward to hearing from you; thanks for reading,

The "good" doctor is demanding belief in a religion - one that proports to be science. Serious scientific minds disagree with his assessment of "the faith", but he demands adherence nonetheless.

I think my criteria is a better measure...and to answer your question, the applicant would need to show how his religious belief values human life and would act as his philosophical foundation in serving life and the preservation and respecting thereof.

Why would you think that someone who believed only in prayer to heal would seek to be a medical doctor? That question is either facetious or simply argumentative...and therefore not demanding of a response.
