Hmm.. why would I want my doctor to have studied evolution? Two words: Antibiotic resistance. There was a brilliant Doonesbury about this last year, I don't know if I can find it anymore.

Bingo. That one, and the one of GHW Bush talking to W over the phone about why he didn't invade Iraq are on my refrigerator.
Jeez Louise - this sounds as silly as "What would you ask god for if he could answer any prayer?" As an atheist, I get riled up when I hear stuff like "Well, they don't believe in evolution so they can't possible be a good (fill in blank)". Newton, Copernicus, Pasteur, Boyle and Da Vinci did not believe in Evolution - does this invalidate their efforts?
