How do you as a creationist justify getting medications/vaccines?

All medicine comes from the branches of science they deny the validity of and yet they don't think twice about it . Then when medication or some other form of medical treatment saves their lives they give their imaginary friend the credit .

Great questions.

I was under the impression that vaccines were created by inserting dead and weakened viruses. Not by genetic studying, or else how would the first vaccine (small pox I think) have been invented in the first place.

Same with bacteria- How would they have created anti-bacteria/antibiotics if they had to study genetics exclusively? They were created way before understanding of genetics.

In cases where a bacteria becomes resistent, it is generally considered to be due to other bacteria dying out without the normal genetic resistance, leaving only the bacteria that can survive the antibiotic naturally. Thus that one bacteria that is naturally resistent to it starts to multiply and then the whole colony is resistant to that particular antibiotic.

I am not claiming that change or perhaps even evolution (micro/macro) does exist on some scale. I don't think God created each "kind" of dog, but rather, one "kind" of dog and that has speciated.

My biggest complaint with it, is that they say that is how life originated. I don't think life all started by just some material "coming" together in an intricate pattern that defines specific actions and variables and definitions.

All living things have some sort of genetics, and genetics is nothing more than a "code" of atoms (or amino acids/proteins/etc.) that are arranged in a certain pattern, and then mysteriously this patter does stuff.

I know from my basic use of computer scripting and programming that you first have to define a variable, and then arrange things to make them mean something.

Computers are made up of a binary system of 1's and 0's-that is basically it. Without software they are virtually useless. But if someone comes along and says, "okay, three 1's and five 0's in a row will equal blue. So a whole computer system or software comes "alive" after it is commanded to mean something. But someone had to define what it meant, right?

So what about genetics. Who said this protein equals blue eyes, or each atom will have this many electrons in the outer shell, etc.? Stuff doesn't just self define. It has to have something define it.

Keep in mind, the whole universe and all the matter/energy/space in it was created (according to most scientific theory). So since it was all had a beginning, that means it was created at some point in time. Did it create itself, and define its own variables? Or was it God--a being that was never created, never had a beginning, and has ever-existed?

I believe it was all God!

Great question, and have a great night!

Unless your particular faith prohibits modern medical procedures and drugs I don't think your belief in creationism or evolutionary theory really determines if you take a modern medical vaccination. For the most part even those who are atheists don't have a solid understanding of even the differences between viruses and bacteria let alone the creation methodology of vaccinations and the way bacteria and viruses change over time and are effected by antibiotics.

Basically, It's moot. You take it because the government says you should and it keeps you healthy.

Not everything in life is a religious concern or something centered about difference in peoples religious belief.

Sounds like you are confusing the Creationist notion that evolution does not produce new species with the scientifically proven process of natural selection (with which creationists agree).

They cover their ears and yell 'micro-evolution' so they won't hear you asking them to define micro-evolution.

Medication and vaccines evolved????

EEHH ...... how did they do that?

What did they evolve from?

I always thought they were invented by men, who used the gifts God gave them to do so.

They usually just mumble something about "adaptation" or "microevolution".
