How are Creationists on the subject of medical science? Do they visit doctors? Do they get X-rays or MRIs or CAT scans or sonograms? None of these is discussed in the Bible. What about CPR? Jesus could cure the sick and raise the dead, but he's not around right now, so if someone is having a heart attack, should we not try to help? If someone is choking, we shouldn't perform the Heimlich maneuver because we're not Jesus? Medicine is something we are learning about gradually -- just as we are learning more about astronomy, geology, paleontology, evolution, etc.

Did God himself not give us the ability to help ourselves in this way? Why shouldn't we use our brains and the technology our brains create to help ourselves and all of God's creatures? Perhaps Creationists don't think so, but others of us do.

How are Creationists on the subject of medical science?

There are outspoken creationists on these threads who post on medical science. None have ever disagreed with each other so we can assume that they all share the same viewpoint on medicine as on other aspects of science. You might try perusing some of the medical threads.

How are Creationists on the subject of medical science?

While I will not generalize regarding creationist views on medical science as a whole, I will note that I have encountered one creationist quite recently who expressed belief that the entire profession of medical science is a fraud designed to benefit the wealth of corporations. This individual suggested that diabetes need not be treated with contemporary medicine, but only through alterations in diet. This creationist also implied that insulin is a "drug", suggesting a stark ignorance of the field that he derided.

I will, of course, note that this was a single isolated event, and cannot be used to determine the viewpoints of creationists in general.

Most swear there's no problem, but when the few who think surgery is a God-defying act pop off, none of the others ever objects.

In general, the antievolution people are all over the map on everything except that evolution is a fraud and The Designer wasn't a space alien. However, anyone who argues against evolution is "witnessing." There exists a rule that there's no bad witnessing. It's about like saying that there are no bad shots fired at The Enemy.
