Should creationists be denied access to modern medical discoveries?

Medical and biomedical research is party based on evolution.





Should creationists be denied access to discoveries that depended on evolutionary biologists and their discoveries?

Should creationists be denied access to modern medical discoveries?
Should atheists be denied access to the fruits of scientific advances made by Christians?





The answer to this question will hopefully shed some light on the subject.
Reply:It's an odd answer.





longwanks point is that evolutionary theory produces medical advances.





Is Jonathan's point that Christianity *itself* produces medical advances? Report Abuse

I understood it as a scientist/doctor that is chrisitan v. an atheist that needs medicine. now that you mention it though, I don't know what he was saying. ;-) Report Abuse

Reply:No, that's barbaric. People shouldn't be refused medical treatment on the basis of belief. I agree it's hypocritical for creationists to enjoy the benefits of modern science while at the same time denying its import, but punitive measures like the ones you propose are at odds with the fundamental values of our society, like tolerance and freedom.
Reply:God guided the hands and minds to these "discoveries" (humans take their contributions too seriously)to benefit


mankind --and allows for non-theists to benefit as well.
Reply:No. That's like denying atheist help as they are dying. When you are in a sick bed for 6 month and dying at the age of 70, you are going to want your loved ones and God. Or something more than yourself. A higher loving being.
Reply:it's a hypocritical world we live in, yet we need not stoop to those levels.
Reply:Personally I'm all for your idea. Unless you expand it to include denying access to people who can't understand modern medical discoveries. Then I'd be seriously in trouble. So just to be safe I say let them use the modern medicine, but INFORM them that its based on evolutionary theory. And if they use it there's a chance that their God will damn them to an eternity in hell, for doing such a thing.
Reply:just might teach em a lesson!





alas, we should be nice to those that aren't smarter then us. they do not know better after all
