@BowsacNoodle > The doctor doesn't do cell and molecular biology. 95% of doctors just see people and order labs

That % seems off, sounds like only talking about GPs/family doctors - but they should have an understanding of what's going on at the molecular level even so, as @gorskon argues in previous posts. If it was as 'reductionist' as you're suggesting being the 95%-kind-of-doctor wouldn't require any education at all, but it does. That education allows doctors to contextualize the results from that lab work. And in *that* understanding evolution seems to be important. Granted unlike @gorskon I'm not a doctor, so I can only go on what people like him say. Maybe you're right and there's a lot less to it than I give it credit for. That would be very odd, though.

> Them suddenly believing (not understanding, believing) in Darwinism (I'm doing this on purpose) isn't going to suddenly make them better.

Sure it can, and this thread is an additional reason why

Because we live in an era where institutions like the discovery institute, and antivaxxers like @TrevorGoodchild push frauds onto the public.

And the protection from those frauds are doctors who understand the fundamentals enough to know when people are being mislead.
