a question of mine

In my experience with undergraduate studies, I have noticed a significant range in beliefs between different types of students. For example, normal biology students who plan on going on to graduate school seemed to be less godless than biology students who were getting the degree for pre-med. It seems as if the majority of pre-med students were really religious at least at my school. I wonder why and how such religious people attend classes that prove their dogma wrong daily, but still stay religious. I even had a Mennonite who was pre-med in my classes and I believe they are young earth believers. It almost seems as if an inclination towards god makes you want to know less about biology. I mean once you get past undergrad if you are going to med school, you mainly learn things about the human body so you won't be hearing about evolution constantly. wow I am really rambling today. Quite possibly because I feel like shit, I am starving, and I am really tired.
