Hogwash!!! Medical schools and biologists don't care what religious beliefs you have, whether you believe in God or not, or even if you believe in the ToE or not. They care if you are smart enough to learn how the human body works, and how to help the human body get well when it gets sick.
Many many doctors and biologists believe in their Creator God, have entered into a relationship with our Lord, and then use the creative abilities He gives to serve Him by making a better, healthier world to live in. They know how to use the creative abilities God gives to mankind by studying life as it really is, and then learn how to cure diseases. Many other doctors and biologists also use their creative abilities to study life as it really is, and learn how to cure diseases, but give no credit to God for this wisdom.
All of man's wisdom of how the universe came to be and how life therein came to be comes from God, not from man. How man uses the wisdom that comes from God is another matter entirely.
I'm reminded of the story of the scientist who challenged God to a man creation contest. God accepted. As the scientist reached down to get some dirt to start creating man, he heard God say, "No no no, you go get your own dirt to start with!."
You can leave God out of your theories if you like, ignoring such things as how there is dirt to start with, and how life was breathed into this dirt, but you will wind up with a world view that has no meaning whatsoever.
You are right, medical schools do not care what religious beliefs you have. The TOE has nothing to do with the belief in the supernatural or not. There are many Christian doctors and scientists who accept biological evolution as a reality.
However, the theory of evolution is the underpinning of much of modern medicine and science i.e. genetics, immunology, pathology, etc.
For example by studying the origin and evolution of human pathogens i.e. bacteria, virus, etc we can create more effective antibiotics and antivirus drugs to counter these deadly pathogens. By studying the evolution of other biological organisms in the ecosystem we can create better conservation and agricultural procedures and techniques to protect our food supply. The list goes on and on.
And BTW, yes doctors do learn biological evolution in there studies in premed courses such as Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cellular Biology, Genetics, Virusology, Human Physiology (which covers the evolution of bacteria and other symbiotic organisms which make up over 90% of the cells of our body) as well as medical school courses such as Cellular and Molecular Immunology, Microbiology, Pathology, Pathogenesis, Genetics, Molecular Medicine, Parasitology and many, many other related courses. How do I know? I was once a premed student before I joined the Navy. Biological evolution IS undeniably taught in premed and medical school.
