is it a sin for creationists to take medicines based on the principles of evolution?

Here's an example using AIDS. But the principle can be used for other rapidly evolving bugs like some flu viruses. AIDS is difficult to treat because it rapidly evolves. These new drugs use that rapid evolution against AIDS by forcing it into an evolutionary dead end

    The evolution theory has contributed a big fat zero to real science.

    They'll hypocritically dance around the issue in order to reap all the benefits, but to disparage the people who work to provide them and advocate ignorance that would doom future generations.

    "So when will this rapidly evolving virus evolve into a dog? .... still waiting.

    Micro and macro - why can't you guys get it?"

    Case in point. It's disgusting how they take pride in their ignorance. Unwilling to put their health where there mouth is.

    Very interesting, and I wouldn't see it as a sin... Many Christians see it as a sin, preferring to pray to their "God" when an old proverb says "God helps those who help themselves" or "God gave man the tools to help themselves".... These people are seriously wacko to believe it's some sort of sin to get medical attention....

    Is it really evolution or just the illusion?

    Evolution, as Darwin proposed, is a fantasy.

    I absolutely think it is! They should just rely on prayer

    (That would get rid of a lot of the anti-science people in the world! he he he)
