Have either of you ever needed to call in Richard Dawkins or Steven Jay Gould to consult on a medical case?

Drs. Gould and Dawkins were professional enemies for many years, though I never really understood why. Gould died last year, and Dawkins has gone over to the Dark Side politically, I'm afraid.

At its most superficial level, a clergyman can be described as a psychologist or performer, just as a doctor can be described as a mechanic or tradesman.

Both can function at a passable level without believing in or even understanding the underpinnings of their professions.

Again, I would choose a rabbi of faith, given a choice.

So, in other words, if even a Practicing Doctor of Medicine himself tells you, "You must be daft -- The idea that Evolutionism contributes anything whatsoever to the competent practice of Medicine is inane"... then you would still rather go with your mystical belief that Evolutionism "improves" the practice of Medicine, even when an expert professional tells you that objectively it is not so?

Wow, that's quite a bit of Faith on your part.
