If the Bible was the only text allowed in biology classes for pre-med students ...?

Question

how many additional people would die annually?

Rod .... creationists act like they are experts in biology ....

Answer 1

I would bet that the human population would not be near 6 billion people.

(A Roman Catholic Med Student).

Answer 2

As a college student studying in this area, I would DEFINITELY recommend Honors Organic Chem. This class is usually the most popular in most schools and chemistry last about 2 yrs in any school if you want to be pre-med. This will help you prepare for college level courses and shows the colleges that you're looking one step ahead than all the other high school students who take AP Bio. Also, your grade for SAT II Bio was really high so you don't need to redeem yourself there. You're grades are excellent, so keep up the good work!

Answer 3

plenty. but the question is ridiculous, christians believe in micro-evolution, physiology etc. In that controlled of a society, there wouldn't be pre-med or even biology, there would be healer schools or something equally lame where kids were taught to pray really hard for sick people and how to accept God's complicated plan when it didn't work. in other words they'd learn how not to learn. then maybe the society would collapse in on itself from the hypocrisy, which would actually be pretty cool to see. Social experiment anyone?

Answer 4

Well, I'm not sure what you would accomplish forcing a biology student to study from a theology book. Kind of like looking for dieting times from your car manual, isn't it?

Answer 5

The Bible isn't nor does it claim to be a medical book.How about Sports Illusrated?What in the Bible makes you think it is?

Answer 6

Hello!

The Bible has a lot of healthy issues. Now, it doesn't mean it has to be the only Book for medicine class, but letting God in our lives has a lot to do with our success (personal as well as professional).

Correct me if am wrong, but the person who invented the first medicine for treating cancer was a Christian.

You probably haven't heard about John Harvey Kellog, but I bet you have heard (and even eat) the brand of corn flakes that is named after his last name. John H. Kellog was a well-known doctor in the 19th century. Many people from all over the world came to see him (presidents, Mr. JcPenny, Mr. Michelline (I think Michelline was a person), politicians from Europe, etc.), he was just a very famous doctor. He was a Christian.

John Harvey Kellog based many of his studies on the writtings of a woman called Ellen G. White. She was like a mother to him, she and her husband paid his studies for medicine, and among Christians (specially among Seventh-day Adventists) she was considered to have the spirit of prophecy (in other words, she was a prophet from God). In a century when it was thought that you could heal illness by keeping a patient from the sun and fresh air, when you heal high temperature by letting a person bleed until he/she runs out of blood, when people didn' practice higiene habits enough, when it was thought that smoking was good for our lungs, God inspired Mrs. White to write about these issues and many more, and to give advice about how to live a healthy life. Her writtings about medicine and health are just beyond her time. John H. Kellog knew it, and that's why he was always 5 years beyond the medicine of his time. More than one hundred years after Ellen G. White, medicine keeps proving right what this lady --who made it until 3rd grade of school and lived between 1827 and 1915-- wrote about medicine, health, education, etc. (You may read one of her books online, called "The Ministry of Healing": http://www.whiteestate.org/books/mh/mh.asp).

Here's a fact: Seventh-day Adventists live 10 years more than the average people. There was an article on the National Geographic Magazine about it... I think it was on November 2005.

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." (3 John 1:2)

The Bible text quoted above tells us that God cares about our health just as He does of every part of us --mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. Jesus Himself spent most of His time healing.

I believe that if we have any knowledge about health it is due to God. If somebody knows how our body works, it is our Maker.

There are very good hospitals run by Christians (the one found in Loma Linda, California; for example). The doctors always pray before starting a surgery or something (I remember that that hospital was screened at a movie, and they showed what the doctors do: pray before a surgery). I'd really like to go there someday.

So there's nothing wrong in using Biology books in medicine class; we would do good by using the Bible too, the Book of books, the #1 best-seller for many years, by the way.

Here are some good websites:
