After receiving a Bachelor of Philosophy degree, Cary went on to medical school earning an MD degree from the University of Michigan, followed by a 40-year career as a board-certified Diagnostic Radiologist and Nuclear Medicine physician.
During his years of medical practice, his highly technological specialty underwent an extraordinary “science-fiction-like” evolution spurred by the development of digital imaging modalities. The impact of these incredible imaging advances on healthcare was stunningly awe-inspiring! Extraordinary progress in medical basic science and medical clinical practice was also occurring simultaneously.
To Cary, the elegance of the conceptualization and the brilliant intelligent design of scientists and clinicians bringing their visions to fruition was dramatic evidence of the power of human reasoning and critical thinking. Yet Cary felt the power of critical thinking was often discounted or little recognized in society. Faith and superstition derived from supposedly divine or divinely inspired “holy” text often seemed to inhibit rational analytic thought. Concerned about the potential negative impact of bad social policies based on superstitious dogma, Cary considered how he might elucidate this barrier to wise practices. Reminded of his youthful antipathy to biblical stories, armed with his humanities background and encouraged by discussion with family and friends, he began to write his book…The New Old Testament.ver menos
