| Quote (midwifetoad @ Nov. 06 2009,12:30) | I chat with a NASA engineer at another site. He would confirm that some NASA engineers are creationists. Of course we already know that engineers are not scientists and often have no interest in or competence in biology.
The same could be said of doctors. |
I take offense to this. The medical field - at least the one I signed up for - requires a very vigorous background in the biological sciences. In fact, at the university I attend, there is no such thing as a "pre-med" major; for all intents and purposes I am a Biology major, and none of the professors I know suffer any creationist nonsense inside or outside of the classroom.
To paint doctors as "not real scientists" because of a select few (who seem to be able to slip through the cracks without actually believing any of the stuff they're studying) is unfair. I know a good handful of people of the kind you're describing, but it's truly the exception, not the rule.
I can't speak about engineers because I don't really know any, much less their specific views on origins.
