What would you think of a (long-living) farmer who bought a bunch of cows and a pack of wolves, and set them on his large ranch, hoping that over a long period of time their predator-prey interplay would result in a better and more fit herd of cows? I would say he was both incredibly inefficient (implying stupidity), and cruel. The same could be said of an omnipotent God Who would use Evolution to create life.
I would think of him as being very idiotic, as you would require millions of years to have any effect on the over make-up of the cattle species. In the short-term, the cattle that stayed near the herd and helped eachother survive would live on to reproduce. Species can be molded/evolved through enviromental pressures and even artificial breeding, the best example of which is the dog.

I read that some people in ERs that have no medical insurance or limited insurance are not taken first due to the fact that hospitals are on a profit system, and I think it's sinful that a hospital would not treat everyone the same. There was a woman who was sitting in a chair with some problem she came in with, but because she wasn't high on the insurance list, she sat for so long that she died of a blood clot in her legs, and nobody even helped her. The hospitals admitted they do this in ER due to the higher paying 'sickies'... that's a SIN. Everyone has the right to medical treatment...insurance or not.. and not put on the back burner until they die.
There may be isolated cases like that, but for the most part, EVERYONE waits forever due to horrific overcrowding problems and the stranglehold on the number of new MDs a year that the AMA allows to be trained. Many charity hospitals exist as well, but a good rule of thumb is that if you wish to create a hospital, not to expect it as a profit-making venture but as a way of helping the community.

Vaccines are EVIL
Sorry, but how are vaccines evil? They are either mild bugs so similar to a deadly condition that they cause immunity to both(injecting cowpox to vaccinate for smallpox), or viruses that have been disabled to the point that it is impossible to become infected by it, but there's enough to be immune.
The immune system works to some degree by analyzing attacks on the body by different microbes and forming a "memory" of the characteristics of the attacker, allowing the body to crank out the appropriate immune response to prevent illness if the disease is found again. The vaccine works by giving the cells the blueprints to the disease.
It's a bit like the difference between teaching someone to survive in the wild by:
1. Dropping them off untrained in a remote, dangerous wilderness alone.
or
2. Giving them instruction, knowledge, and survivial gear to help them if lost.

You haven't looked lately, have you? God may have thrown something in there that you haven't seen yet. What about the verse,'They will wish for death and it will flee.' Assisted suicide is the cure for that. Does that make it right? I think in a way it does. But, you see the devil is a saviour too; he just saves the flesh. Death is the deceiver. Does that mean that there is no death? My experience is, yes that's true.
Could you clarify that somewhat? I do recall that verse as being a description of the anti-Christ's minions when a massive disaster occurs in Revalations to the city of New Babylon.
