Don’t Believe in Evolution? Then Don’t Be a Hypocrite
CBS News reports: Majority of Americans Reject Theory of Evolution
NEW YORK (Oct. 23) - Most Americans do not accept the theory of evolution. Instead, 51 percent of Americans say God created humans in their present form, and another three in 10 say that while humans evolved, God guided the process. Just 15 percent say humans evolved, and that God was not involved.
These views are similar to what they were in November 2004 shortly after the presidential election.
This question on the origin of human beings, asked both this month and in November 2004, offered the public three alternatives: 1. Human beings evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years, and God did not directly guide this process; 2. Human beings evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years, but God guided this process; or 3. God created human beings in their present form.
The way I see it (copied from a post on the Restore the Pledge forum):
Anyone who disbelieves in evolution, yet takes advantage of medical technology that is a direct result of its basis in FACT (antibiotics, vaccines, etc.) is a hypocrite of the highest order. If they were truly committed to their beliefs, they’d eschew any of these life-saving treatments for themselves and their families and pray themselves well… which would serve not only to address shortages of medicine, but probably help out with overpopulation as well.
They’ll talk the talk, but if walking the walk puts their lives in jeopardy, their beliefs take a back seat to survival. Why do they not stand by “Let Go, Let God” when the only treatment that might save yourself or a loved one is based on what these people claim is a “lie?”
Laporte, or any other Christian claiming “Goddidit” to be a more worthy theory than evolution with regards to biology, can you explain why you wouldn’t avoid any of these treatments and rely solely on God’s healing powers, if you’re so SURE that evolution is pure bunk?
I’d REALLY like a fucking answer to this question, please.
