What exactly does “evolutionary medicine” do that requires this expensive outlay?

12 PhD positions in the Research Training Group “Evolutionary Processes in Adaptation and Disease” (EvoPAD):
PhD projects in Biology, Medicine, and Philosophy
Start: 1st April 2017. 3-year positions (TV-L E13 65 %)
The new DFG-funded Research Training Group “Evolutionary Processes in Adaptation and Disease” (EvoPAD, GRK 2220) unites biological, medical, and philosophical research at the University of Münster, Germany. The core idea is to use the theory of evolution to understand processes leading to adaptation and/or disease. 12 PhD students will work on advancing evolutionary theory, and in turn, apply modern evolutionary approaches to medical questions.
EvoPAD doctoral researchers will perform cutting-edge research in an interdisciplinary environment. Our multidisciplinary qualification program is tailored to individual career tracks, and offers opportunities for international cooperation, summer schools, and courses covering
evolutionary and population genetics, bioinformatics, experimental design, philosophy of science, and bioethics.EvoPAD is coordinated within the stimulating city of Münster near Münster’s University Palace and offers a family friendly and international atmosphere.
The program, funded by the German federal and state governments does mention epigenetics at the site but the talk of applying “apply modern evolutionary approaches to medical questions” and “philosophy of science, and bioethics” makes one nervous.

“12 PhD students will work on advancing evolutionary theory, and in turn, apply modern evolutionary approaches to medical questions.”
The false evolutionary assumption of vestigial organs has misled medical doctors into much needless medical malpractice in the past:
Simply put, Darwinian evolution as a worldview is dangerous in medical treatment since it presupposes that the human body was not designed
In fact, Michael Egnor, professor of Neurosurgery, holds that “Evolutionary explanations by themselves are worthless to medicine”
Even Jerry Coyne admits that Darwinian evolution has been useless for medicine, among other things:
Moreover, testing medicines on animals is largely a huge failure precisely because of the false evolutionary assumption of common ancestry:
The reason why medicines act vastly differently between different animals is because, as would be expected on the Design framework, the gene regulatory networks controlling gene expression are vastly different between different animals:
And whereas evolutionary assumptions have led to much needless medical malpractice, on the other hand, Intelligent Design, particularly the presumption that there are strict limits to what evolutionary processes can accomplish, is turning out to be very useful for medicine.
The multiple drug cocktail that has been so effective in controlling HIV uses much the same strategy of being beyond the ‘edge of evolution’ that Dr. Behe has elucidated:
The proposed Dr Darwin, retired from studying medicine at Edinburgh University. “Darwin did not enjoy his studies.”
He did qualify at Cambridge in theology to become an Anglican priest, a type of spiritual doctor. However, he never qualified as a naturalist, but he did diagnose the Judaeo-Christian God as “erroneous” as to how life formed.
And, Dr almost, Darwin, diagnosed that Jesus was not the Son of God, and the Judaeo-Christian religion not divine.
He also diagnosed that miracles were for uneducated people, and dismissed miracles. So, do not expect medical miracles in any shape or form whatsoever from those 12 esteemed apostles of Darwin with PhD’s.
Darwin, much invigorated by such exorcising of the mind (though as he commented, who would really trust a mind from a monkey), wrongly diagnosed humans recapitulated through evolutionary stages in the developing child or embryo.
His good friend, professor Ernst Haeckel gave a false injection to Darwin’s hypothesis by prescribing fraudulent evidence for recapitulation. Such ‘advanced diagnostics,’ regressed true medicine and true education, as even today in textbooks.

Of course, the apparent self-hypnotic powers of evolutionists, diagnosed a pig’s tooth as a missing human link. And so many learned people diagnosed the false Piltdown man as the best thing since man ‘became’ knuckle draggers, after prolonged and continually consulting a field mortuary of fossilised quadrupeds. Some recently found with blood still in them!
To be fair to the Darwin, he did rightly diagnose that there are no transitional fossils even though he had by then swallowed his own elixir of life; a worm chance mixed with some simian or other. That’s what he believed made him tick and fit: no doubt a placebo.
Of course, all those who survive are fit. Thank goodness, I have passed ‘Dr’ Darwin’s unqualified naturalist medical examination.
December 18, was the anniversary of the Piltdown hoax.

There is God-like difference between a human and a simian. The degrading theory of Darwin cannot even be true to its self. A slight advantage in some theoretical arms race cannot be tenable between apes and humans.
Still, if we go back far enough theoreticly, any good doctor in the making was an ape; so those apostles of Darwin must believe. Next stop, superman.
