Mrs Legless
Is religious, and a Christian and a doctor.

That said she's a committed Darwinist and rejects Creationism. The creation story in the Bible is a parable and nothing more.

Cheers

And the second sentence of that is the clincher.

I don't have much problem with Christianity as a sort of rope by which you live your life - I disagree with it, but yahh boo. The belief in god is false, but, again, for the most part, yahh boo.

It's the dogmatic rejection of evidence and the arbitrary division into the world into things for which we need evidence, and things where faith is enough, that gets me angry.

A creationist scientist strike me as pathological, or a liar, or a pathological liar.
