There is science and science. Any science that does not acknowledge in nature the continual working of infinite power is not true science but science falsely so-called!
"They are without excuse, for since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead." Romans 1:20.
So who is a true scientist? The believer or the unbeliever? The answer is clear. The believer.

Christians do believe and understand true science in many areas and what it's done for mankind over the centuries...many great scientists were Christian. Man has been able to uncover, through real science, many of the secrets of how God created things and how they interact. The theory of evolution is NOT real science, merely a belief in "naturalism" which many supposed scientists believe in versus a supernatural creation. There is no observable evidence for evolution from a lower form of life to a higher form of life or evidence or repeatable tests for how life began at all without a super-natural beginning.

I don't know any Christians that don't believe in science. Quite the opposite actually... we (my Christians friends and I) believe science came from God and is used by God. To not use it might be ignoring a miracle from God. With that said, I have some personal feelings against some type of medication but it's not because I don't believe in science, I just don't believe in trying to cover-up potentially dangerous real medical problems by taking medications and thinking all is well...
Be blessed.

Which only goes to prove that Christians (apart from Christian Scientists who refuse all medication) DO believe in science. Sorry to shatter your illusions. Lots of science is sound, brilliant, life-saving, astounding and thrilling. We just don't jump to the same conclusions about origins that non-believers do.
And our God instructs us to use medication. Genesis shows God giving mankind herbs, (balm of Gilead and many other medicinal ointments are detailed) and a Christian is advised to drink a little wine for his stomach ailment etc. Our God has, indeed, helped in cases of terminal illness, but it also pleases him to use various means, including scientists and doctors. It's only your faithless view of faith that makes you think Christians using medication must be hypocrites. Once you've got saving faith, you'll recall this question with regret!

I've wondered this myself. When science uses evolutionary biology to develop vaccines and medicines, no one has a problem with them. I think, in the interest of full disclosure, doctors should have to tell their patients that the treatment they are about to recieve came from evolutionary biology, which many non-scientists consider a "pseudo science" and ask if they still want the treatment.
Edit: oMG, truth 6 thumbs whatever... are you suggesting that without science, people would not die?

It is illegal under the law for a Physician to use Experimental or Theoretical procudures on you without advised consent and the backing of laws as well.
In short it would be illegal for a Physician to use Darwinsim to cure you of an illness to to suggest evolution will take care of it when known procedures of an alternative and predictable nature are available.
There is a growing mood in the Medical Profession to actually allow evolution to cure you. They tell you to go home and it will be over in a few days, despite a feaver.
Three symptoms are now required for medication.
If you don't complain about the three symptoms or the doctor dosesn't readily observe them they are off the hook and if you die from Menegitist in three days it will be a tough courst case to prove neglect or malpractise.
I personally see no actual difference between staying home and letting God eventually cure you to staying home and letting evolution eventually cure you, except for the fact that evolution prescription will cost you $125 in the United States and the God prescription is free.
Do you enjoy paying $100 to be told to go home, stay in bed and drink water.
Nothing else
No Pennicillin when you have a raging feaver, body aches. No E-mycin. No Textrex.
Just give me $100 and go home and nature will take care of it in a few days.
I personallly see no difference in that type of medical practise.
Now, if you want your doctor to take things further then you have to sumbitt to throat cultures, blood cultures. That the fee from $125 to $850 and it takes 24 hours to get the results so you are sent home $850 poorer if you have no health insurace with no medication.
40% of America currently has no health insurance. If you make over $20K a year you are not entitled to Medicare or Medicade and I doubt you get County Hospital to run a $725 battery of tests on demand.
50% of those Americans with health insurance have some kind of deductable and the insruance only pay a percentage of COMMON AND USUAL FEE
If you have a $250 deductable and it pays 80% then you are still going to have to shell out close to $400 and the doctor has the right to withhold medication wtihout the tests to verify you have a need for such medication.
At an HMO a committee has to approve any treatment regime before it can be done. That usually takes a few days to decide.

it does no longer be suicide once you think approximately that the objective is to no longer kill your self, that is to maintain yet another life. Suicide is a egocentric act because of the reality which you would be doing it to flee out of your very own problems, in this difficulty you are going to die and you realize this yet you would be doing it to stay away from dropping somebody Else's life. If an atheist does this to stay away from dropping someone Else's life they are going to nonetheless pass to hell because of the fact that they have dedicated an Unforgivable sin. with the aid of denying the life of god they have have been given denied the spirit of reality it is committing blasphemy in opposition to the holy spirit and that's the only sin Jesus reported might now no longer be forgiven. If an agnostic does this who with the aid of no skill denied that god existed then he might maximum possibly have a threat at going to heaven despite the fact that he might have have been given to pass to purgatory that could be a short lived punishment the place the soul is purified until now than entering into heaven. that is why being atheist is stupid. once you deny god exists your forfeit any threat of entering heaven interior the oft possibility that god does exist.

Does your mother know everything there is to know? If not, why do you go to her for advice?
I believe in science, I believe science has been explaining what God did for generations. I do know that every medicine the doctor uses comes from something that God made to help us.
Sure they don't know everything, but so what? The doctor does know which medicine will help me. He does know why my tummy aches or my head hurts or whatever.
And yes, terminally ill people often go to God for comfort, and they also go to the doctor for relief from pain.

God created humans and instilled within them His own traits such as cognitive reasoning. With this, we are able to receive the medical attention when needed. When we are terminally ill, it means that we are closer to receiving eternal life as glorified spirit beings and inheriting the Kingdom of God, who's vast universe will be available to us forever. By submitting to the Will of God, we choose eternal life over eternal death.....
