Do creationists get flu shots every year?

Question

If so, why?

Keep in mind that viruses reproduce much faster than humans.

Answer 1

That is a great question. I will ask some personally and see what they say, and how they explain their answers.
It seems obvious what their answer should be if they truly believe what they say they believe.

Answer 2

I can only speak for myself...I haven't had a vaccine since right before I went into middle school.

I hardly ever get sick though. I catch a cold MAYBE twice a year. And in the past fifteen, almost sixteen, years, I've only had any kind of flu three times.

Answer 3

I don't but not because of religious reasons. I've gotten vaccines because as Jesus said when Devil tried to get Him to jump of the temple top saying "It is written, He will give his angels charge over you lest at any time you should dash your foot against a stone"...Jesus said "It's also written you shall not put the Lord your God to the test".

When you've got a link to a virus evolving into another type of creature then let me know OK? God created life with the ability to adapt and evolve within it's own type. He didn't create fish that became amphibians that became mammals that became ape like creatures that became human beings.

The idea that the massive amounts of coded data in DNA arose by random chance is a laugh.

"Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, each is in effect a veritable microminiaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up of 100,000,000,000 atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world."

The "simple cell" turns out to be a miniaturized city of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design, including automated assembly plants and processing units featuring robot machines (protein molecules with as many as 3,000 atoms each in three-dimensional configurations) manufacturing hundreds of thousands of specific types of products. The system design exploits artificial languages and decoding systems, memory banks for information storage, elegant control systems regulating the automated assembly of components, error correction techniques and proofreading devices for quality control.

At the moment of conception, a fertilized human egg is about the size of a pinhead. Yet it contains information equivalent to about six billion "chemical letters." This is enough information to fill 1000 books, 500 pages thick with print so small you would need a microscope to read it!

If all the chemical "letters" in the human body were printed in books, it is estimated they would fill the Grand Canyon fifty times!

Answer 4

I am a Christian, not a creationist, but I never get flu shots or any other kind. They make me get sick. The one time I had one, I had the worst case of flu ever!

Answer 5

The should do it this winter. 6 people died from the flu this winter in the southern hemisphere.

Answer 6

What would those disorder's be CJ? A little pain in the arm. What about the polio vaccine you got when you were a baby?

Answer 7

As redundancy to prayer!

Answer 8

LOL, yeah, it wouldn't make sense, now would it?

Oh, except if health or lives are at stake.

Answer 9

They're dumber than a dead rock, so many of them probably don't have the basic intelligence to do that.

Answer 10

Fascinating question.
