I was in class today and met a Biology professor at our department for the first time. He is giving this class for this semester.. He is very passionate about scientists in general, and wants us to become like him. However in our class, I am the only one who wants to reach out for the long run to become a scientist, while the rest of the class were becoming medical doctors.. I won't say he is against them, but he does seem a little biased as he keeps talking about how great scientists are.
He asked me what evolution was.. And as I began answering, he hit me lightly on the head saying, "Wrong! The correct answer is ' I don't know'.. You're a scientist! Their correct answer is ' I don't know" and then he continued defining evolution in general.. and the definition h gave was exactly what I was begining to answer when he asked me!
My question is, what does he mean when he said that.. and why did he tell me that.. I was a little embarassed in class to be honest.. But he seems so wise.. and being the "only" one in class that aspires to become a scientist like him, I don't understand why he said that to me...
Thoughts anybody?
