Maybe, but if you wind up dead by relying on prayer or exorcism rather than antibiotics, that is your choice. But if you rely on prayer and the Theory of Eating Grasshoppers and your child dies, you will go to prison. And deservedly so. Rejecting the accepted modern science of medicine is not acceptable in any church I know of (note that Christian Scientists have gone to jail). And not accepted under the law. What church-belief do you hold to that chooses to withhold established and effective treatments to a child or loved one? Which church-belief do you take as gospel to challenge X-rays or MRI? Do you actually know what an X-ray is?

Non sequitur alert, non sequitur alert

You just compared comparative techniques of medical treatment and diagnosis to evolution. By "comparative", I mean that an X-Ray generates a picture of a bone that is compared to a known standard. The same holds true with the MRI. Modern medicine is largely based on comparative experiments on humans and animals which track evidence impirically and develop charts and trends. Evolution is not permitted to be compared to anything without garnering snide tin foil hat comments. Hence my comment that when discussing evolution the scientific method is often discarded by people who would normally apply it to just about everything else.

Your bias against evolution leads you to post falsely about science and evolution.

Wrong. Every finding is studied "comparitively" and against established standards.
