Today I learned that my GI doc is a Christian. [View all]

He started talking about how God created us to know the difference between solids and gases, but not gases and liquids. This is a nice way to describe a bodily function.
At that moment, I suddenly no longer trust my doc. I just don't think Scientists can be Christians. They need to question too much and if they can't, they can't be a scientist.
Am I the only one who feels this way? And how unprofessional is it to go into religion in a professional setting? Just totally made me uncomfortable. If this were at the Catholic Hospital, it would have been expected. But not where I was. It was just...unseemly...
