When a creationist gets sick, why do they go to a doctor instead of praying?

Question

Why do they spend all that money on science-based hokum?

Answer 1

Lack of faith.

Don't listen to the lunatic below me.

Answer 2

Some Christians do pray instead of going to a doctor. Some pray while going to the doctor. And some pray after they have been to the doctor and seen their bill.

seriously, some Christians do believe in divine healing and they stay away from doctors. Many others believe that doctors are a gift from god and there is nothing wrong with going to them.

god bless!!

Answer 3

Because the "evolutionists" attempt to take our children away "(actually i red a story a while back about a girl who got really sick. instead of her parents taking her to the doctor they kept her home and kept a 24/7 prayer thing going. the girl ended up dying from the sickness and the parents were arrested for child endangerment.)", and otherwise question our sanity.

Plus, your farcial assumption is that the choice is doctor or prayer, when doing both is typically our approach.

Answer 4

Most sciences studied today were started by creationists, I'll have you know. Here why using and old Indian proverb: "Pray to God and row away from the rocks." Science may be able to heal people, but we still don't really know how this whole thing works, it's God who makes the healing possible.

Answer 5

A guy was driving down the road, and he said "OK God I am going to do whatever you say for now on." God told him to go buy milk. The man thought, I just bought some yesterday, but ok. So he stops at the gas station and buys a gallon of milk. God then tells him to turn down a specific street. the man says "God, I don't live this way, but OK, I'll obey you." God tells him to stop and bring the milk to the house with the lights off. the man said, its 10:30 at night, if I go knock on these people's door at this hour with milk, they'll think I'm crazy. The man said "OK God I don't understand, but I'll do it."
The man walked up to the door and rang the bell. A man came to the door. "I have some milk for you," He said to the resident. The man turned around and sprinted to the back room, where his wife and baby were, they came out and hugged the man, the wife said "We didn't have any money to buy the baby milk, and we prayed to God to send us an angel."


The moral of the story is: God uses other people to answer our prayers.

Answer 6

That's great -you would think that the whole god and praying would have some valid point if so many people actually believe in it.They would probably tell you that god made the doctors so that they could help you...or some other made up nonsense--CREATIONISM is a HOAX people and has no scientific basis at ALL...GRay's answer above is totally false creationism has never helped science because it isn't science and does not and should not ever be treated as such.

Answer 7

Because science proves things, but they generally say it does not prove God exists.
If science proved God exists, they would still probably believe that God is above science and our reasoning. Hypocritical, but that's how religion works. Faith in non-fact.

Also, evolution is a theory of science, just like medicines are truly just theories. Why don't you now believe in macroevolution and so forth? God created the scientists that use the same empirical experimentation for both medicine(doctors) and evolution (scientists).

Answer 8

Creation Hokum?

A person that believes in a God that did create, does have a book that tells him the first human pair fell into imperfection soon after they were created.

Being born into imperfection, anything can happen to any one at any age and the one thing every one is sure of including science and evolution believers is, and non believers is, they will be sure to die.
Jesus said, if your whole, if your well, you do not need a physician.

Adam and Eve were created souls, their life is the spirit of the God that created them,
it belongs to him, they separated themselves from their own life source, now anything can happen to them and all they produce, when they die it returns to God who gave it.

After Adam and Eve souls are born into imperfection, it is most difficult for the spirit of God to dwell in imperfection, they are separated from their own life source, so a short life span had to come to be, and their spirit of life belongs to God, at each death the spirit returns to God.

The promise of salvation, is each soul to be resurrected by the spirit of God that belongs to that soul, that souls is free from born imperfect and can only do as Adam and separate its own self from his own life source and that is the God that caused life by resurrection.

Angels do not die, but some have separated them selves and the one that supplies that life, has given them a time limit as it is with Satan and the unholy angels, they are not supplying their own life source.

God could have wiped it out anytime, he still can wipe it out any time, but he saw people like Noah, Abraham and some more that understood. When he gets through, if no one understands, it will not be the fault of God or man. The individual will be to blame that he is forever seperated from his life source.

Answer 9

Because they want to get better, just like you would. You need to remember, that creationists LOVE "GOOD" science, and lots of medical discoveries have been made that heal people. God made science and wisdom, and its for all people, no matter what they believe.

Answer 10

The Lord give each of us common sense. Yes, it is true the Lord can Heal anyone. Also, sometime he works Thur doctors.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. He use everything for his Glory. God has a plain for each of us.

Answer 11

God uses other people to meet the needs of Christians. He works through doctors and health professionals to get the human body to work the way He intended it to work.
