I ask again, why is the belief in evolution necessary to be a doctor? People are NOT going to evolve over the life of the doctor (or even 1000 lifetimes).

Untrue. Asians typically had an average height of 5'2 or less for hundreds of years. Within the past generation the AVERAGE height has increased by 6 inches. This is a change that is sustained and continuous. This is largely due to diet, but as studies have shown, change occurs. Domesticated cat brains are smaller today than there were 75 years ago. Cats USED to hunt mice for food. Now they are kept in apartments and fed from the can. They no longer need the brain capacity they once did. Bottom line is that we are changing, slowly; but we are changing nonetheless. It's measureable, it's quantifiable and it's factual.

Evolution is central to the study and understanding of biophenomena. End of story.
