Following your reasoning to its logical conclusion, then we shouldn’t treat any physical medical condition. We should just let people die if it’s God’s will.

Don’t remove an infected appendix, don’t set a broken bone, don’t do an emergency c-section for a woman having trouble delivering, no insulin for diabetics, and the list goes on.

If an Epi-Pen saves the life of someone having an anaphylactic reaction, are we crossing God’s will? Shouldn’t re rather let the person die?

All those treatments are artificially prolonging life. It’s a matter of degree between those methods and something like a feeding tube or life support.

Just trust in the power of God next time you want to pop a pill for something, or consider going to the doctor.

Exactly. Got also gives us reason, and knowledge, and talents, and skills. He wants people to use and develop them.
