re: Missouri Bill Would Warn Parents of Evolution Boogeyman

For example, if you have two physicians, one a YEC and one an evolutionist, but they have the exact same level of knowledge and expertise with regard to their profession, then their metaphysical beliefs would not make any difference.

While technically true, the likelihood of a person who believes evolution is a flat out lie reaching the status of MD in this day and age are incredibly low. Anyone who has an MD has taken dozens of biology, biochemistry and genetics courses at a very high level of learning. It is virtually impossible to become that well versed on the subject and still deny evolution. It would be the equivalent of someone with a PhD in physics denying gravity.

You'd be hard pressed to find a qualified physician in any specialty who clings to YEC in 2014. I'm sure there are a few outliers, but you're unlikely to ever meet one.
