Reply To: It's Fascinating the Places I Discover Evidence For Evolution
this particular hospital is privately operated and is very up front about their Evangelical Christian position.
And yet, most religious hospitals hire their staff for their skills and have no religious belief requirement. I’ve been to Good Samaritan and St. Vincent’s hospitals here locally and aside from a cleric dropping by to ask me if I’d like to pray with him when I did an overnighter (“No, thank you”) there’s never been a hint of religion or that religion would be allowed to overrule a medical decision. They hire doctors whose native countries might be India, Pakistan, Poland, or Brazil, and it’s the same for nurses.
while laying there I started wondering if the people who operate this particular institution could have explained to me why their supposedly omnipotent God saw fit to make man with organs unable to utilize fresh water but unable to survive by consuming salt water
This is somewhat confusing. Our organs can use fresh water. After all, we drink fresh water and would die without consuming it, so it is quite useful to our organs. Our body simply mixes in salt derived from our solid foods to bring the salinity up to the necessary level.
