[Bgsa] Intelligent Design...coming to a doctor's office near you

[Sharon Coe]

Hey everyone,

A medical doctor of Len Nunney's is an Intelligent 
Design advocate. In fact, Len invited everyone 2 few years 
ago to an ID talk his doctor was giving on campus...at which 
Len, and many others, got a chance to express their opposing 
opinions.

However, not until today did I realize that encountering a 
doctor, at least in the Riverside/San Bernardino area, who 
openly talks about ID during office visits, is not uncommon. 
It has now happened to me, and I have heard that two other 
grad students in our department have experienced this. 

It was a pretty bizarre and somewhat disturbing experience. 
I assume the fact that I am a PhD candidate in Biology 
peaked his interest. I took it as an opportunity to learn 
more about the ID viewpoint, which I will consider useful 
should I have more experiences with ID people. However, it 
was so unprofessional as to be laughable!! At least one of 
the things this doctor said in our conversation was "So, you 
would be ok with someone raping a child? You wouldn't feel 
bad about that?" I think he was trying to say that religion 
is a moral code and without religion there can be no moral 
code.  

All I wanted was some good medical advice and I get this??

So, for what it's worth, I thought someone might get 
something out of a potential forwarning!!
