Re: The nature of evidence

Years ago, along Indiana Hwy 46 between Bloomington and Columbus, there was
a big sign outside a house that advertised "Christian Dentistry." I was not
prompted to inquire further. My wife once had a doctor that spent half the
office visit tryiing to proselytize her. She didn't go back. While I
appreciate any physician who sees his/her work as a vocation and brings a
spiritual dimension to it, I choose on the basis of competency and
reputation, not religious affiliation or commitment.
