Today I learned that my GI doc is a Christian.

1. My dentist has inspirational posters on his ceiling for patients to look at

while he's digging around in his mouth. I put up with them because he's the only dentist who has never hurt me. And it's the only proselytizing he does and it's all pretty mild stuff.

I honestly don't care whether or not a medical professional is a believer. Some are, some are not and the "are nots" are a distinct minority.

Just as the RCC has accepted evolution but considers god the puppetmaster who is directing the whole business, other medical professionals and scientists are capable of exploring their fields scientifically more as an exploration of god's methods rather than shutting down all avenues of research by saying "god did it" and that further study is unnecessary.

Besides, your GI doc was just using a classy way to say "never trust a fart."
