Why do they not trust their "god" to cure them rather than use the science that created medicine? Go pray to your false god when you have a terminal illness instead of going to the hos[ital.

First of all science hasn't proven that man evolved from apes. If we did evolve from apes ? How come there are still apes in the jungle? How come all the apes haven't changed to Human beings. How come no one has ever stumbled upon an ape in the process of transforming into a human. \nYou know what . The reason man is so brainy is because he was created in the image and like of God. As a matter of fact science has shown that the average man does not use 90% of his brain capacity.\nGod expects you to do somethings for yourself, use the brain that he has given you to find cure to diseases and solve earths pressing problems instead of questioning his existence.\nPerhaps you should take a trip to Mars or Pluto, may be you might find some fellow ape-men, or sub-species of \nape-men .Wake up man!

Wow, I am amazed at the responses you've gotten so far.\nWe keep hearing about how people who don't believe in God are supposed to be so much more intelligent than those of us who do, and yet, all we here from these educated people is that you should go to school, or read a book...in other words, they can't answer your questions.\nGee, and even when they admit that they can't answer your questions, they throw in an insult, just for good measure....\n\nLooks as if you've hit a nerve, my friend!!

They haven't fully accepted the intelligence gifted to them by the Lord their God. They keep rejecting it.\n\nI shouldn't say that it sound uncharitable.  I'm sure they are whack-full of intelligence.  I think they are just plain stubborn. You know how some people will just automatically contradict you even though they know that you're right?  Maybe they're like that.  Maybe they glory in being eccentric, thinking they get brownie points from God, and because they do, God will love them more and everyone else will go to hell.  Maybe they think that.  But yeah, if they're so against science, they should probably not ever go to the hospital if they are hurt, since just about every doctor and nurse knows about Darwin's theory.

I doubt anyone would believe that God was answering here a Y!A. It's different when God talks to people inside their heads, that is somehow much easier to believe. Oh Yeah it's God not schizophrenia.

Well it's true, a person's belief is stronger than medicine sometimes, faith can heal or injure. A person who wants to be sick will never be cured no matter how much time and money is spent, unless they get the cure they desire. After all it's literally "in your mind" and no one can get in there. They can use drugs to blur your mind, or electro-shock therapy to try "re-wiring"  it drastically, literally forcing you to think differently, the same as people recovering from strokes or major brain injuries learn to. Much of dementia is caused simply by letting our minds go. Do I believe in satanic possessions? I'm not sure, but I believe there is potential for great good or great evil in every person, it's a battle waged within us every moment, and sometimes people feel the best way to face temptation is to yield to it and then claim they are a victim, "temporary insanity", or even demonic "possession." I don't know, but I believe evil requires a human body, a physical presence, in order to have power. And it's too easy to have a cop out like saying "I can't help myself". If a person is possessed I doubt any "exorcism" could work unless they want it to. But I'd like to know if any study was ever done to see if people with no religous beliefs ever get "possessed"?

"God" didn't step out of the clouds, sit down with some vellum and quill and write that, sorry. Some regular ol' man who claimed "God" spoke to him did.\n\nWhen this happens nowadays, the person in question is usually placed under psychiatric care.

I think, and you can underline the words "I think", that its because people fear to take responsibility for their actions. So they conveniently place the issue in God's hands thus relieving themselves of having to take responsibility for the outcome. Like chemotherapy in your example. It doesn't always work. What then? Does the mother go around asking herself "Why did I put him through all that? He died in greater pain and it took longer and etc. and its all because I decided to ..." See what I mean? Its easier for people to let themselves off the hook. Makes it simpler latter too. God makes a good fall guy. He almost never takes up for himself. :-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~"

Either they think that you're sick (physically or mentally), you're in a bad situation and they want it to get better for you, or you're in a religion they don't approve of and they're praying you'll "see the light" if they pray long and hard enough.  I always say don't sweat it, if they want to waste their breath and their minutes, which get more precious by the day it seems, let them.  It's not me they're affecting, and maybe one day they'll realize it.

I am also a Christian and the reason they do is because they're scared. To believe in god is to much for them. And that would mean not going to heaven they would want that. So for them it's easier to just believe that there is no god just a heaven. And that they are going there. E-mail me it would be cool to finally have another believer to talk to. Oh yeah don't listen to this "Skeptic Man".

They dont believe in God, how can they believe he abandoned them? Devil and God go together---believe in neither!

I think perhaps God should make decisions like those. Medical Science is great and all but God has power over all things. Choose your child. From the mother's stand point what better way to die, than by giving another life. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend. (I think baby relatives count too.) From the father's stand point what better way to show God you totally trust him? A friend of mine was told about six months ago that she should abort her child because he would never breathe on his own, his skull would not be formed,his facial features would be distorted, and the child's brain would be in essence.... dead.Pam and Mike were basically told to kill their unborn child because a medical test "proved" it would be for the best. Rather than putting their faith in medicine they put their faith in God and  today a miracle happened. Pam gave birth to a basically healthly child. He is breathing just fine all by himself, despite some minor physical abnormalities he is a beautiful healthy child. Praise God for this precious life! If Mike would have put his faith in science, or Pam had chosen instead to have her baby aborted because something might be wrong.... well the world would have missed out on this brand new perfect life. The real question is not who can I save? But, in whom can I put my faith? You have no control over life or death, which means YOU can NOT Choose who lives. ie. If the father decides "choose" to abort the child who is to say that during the procedure the mother would not also die? It has happened. an abortion requires a serious, though minimally invasive, surgical procedure.It's called a Dilitation and Curretage more commonly refered to as a D&C.(not only for decicive abortions, a D&C is commonly done on women who have had a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage to prevent uterine infections)I personally have seen (working on a surgical floor) women who have nearly died from complications of this "minimally invasive" procedure.If you put your faith in God he will direct your path.

I believe in prayers along with medication.they go side by side.because God has all power to make medicine effective and if He doen't will , medicine would be of no use.He is the actaul doctor  of all diseases !!!

iam a christian. i see that science and theories can help you understand whatever it is you want to know. But all that takes away from god and the bible is the works of the devil. Many things are unexplainable, but many atheists have given there life to god on their death bed, Many scientists love to make up things to get fame and stuff, but that is stuff you rarely hear about. Everything is based around psychology, atheists have big egos. they think they control there own lives and announce that god is pretend, but is god dont exist to them then why are they always so threatened

I believe in today's day and age we see people coming back to life after being dead many, Many times!  However, we no longer see it as a miracle but as an act of science, medicine, etc.  I've seen people how have dead from very minor things and others how should be dead (and some that has) and then they end up coming back and being perfectly fine again.  I think the human race is taking to much credit for that and calling it good medicine and I am a firm believer that it's not ONLY good medicine but also a GREAT God!!

Right on brother.  And to all the people who point to 'miracles' that show them there is a god, there are thousands of people who watch the opposite happen to their family member.  What about them?\n\nSeriously, you say you watched some thing hapeen to a relative for a month that should have killed them, but didn't so THERE is god.  What about the 30 year old healthy father of 3 who dies on the the tennis court?  What is his wife supposed to think? What about his 9 year old son?  God works in mysterious ways?  That is all semantic claptrap.\n\nWhat about the 60 year old atheist homeless person who lives to be 90 with nobody praying for him? Please

If you believe God exists then you have accept that He knows everything and therefore everything is His divine plan.  This means that Hitler was His divine plan, cancer is part of His plan, and people who are born disabled are all part of His plan.
