4/10
Get your god out of my science!
18 June 2019
Loved the show up to this point, and the drama with Shaun and the new chief surgeon guy is fantastic. But taking the one character who I would have voted most likely to be an atheist and making her super religious all of a sudden practically gave me whiplash. Doctors are scientists, and compared to the the general public scientists are way less likely to be religious, because the scientific method and faith are anathema. Faith = belief without evidence. Scientific method = provide evidence for your beliefs. They just don't work together without some serious mental gymnastics. As an atheist I found this episode insulting; faith plays no role in my life at all, so describing the lack of it as similar to losing a loved one was ridiculous. Epicurus dropped the mic on god over two millennia ago and that should have been the end of it. Boo. I say boo, sir.
