I have never heard, "I will not accept this treatment because humans were created 6000 years ago!" That doesn't make sense to me. Have you heard it in a realistic setting?
So, basically, no example will do?
Let me illustrate to you what you've done. You've asked me to provide you with examples of why "thinking you're Jesus" might be harmful. I've given you various answers, but no - you want an example of some actual physical harm to the person that believes he is Jesus. How about killing himself because he believes he's saving humanity. Oh no, but I've never heard anyone killing himself believing they were Jesus. I have never heard "I will jump off the bridge to save humanity!" That doesn't make sense to me. Have you heard it in a realistic setting?
No, I haven't, but so what? If I believed medicine was based on some whacky theory, I would certainly reject treatment - just as I reject homeopathic treatment with their 1 in 10^40 solutions of random, at that point, non existing chemicals. Why would it be illogical for a creationist to reject vaccine against a new strain of a virus? (depending on their particular brand of creationism)
But I think that physical harm resulting directly because of a false belief that the earth is 6000 years old or a belief that you are the son of god is unlikely and the least menacing of all consequences. I don't really understand why I have to argue that false beliefs are a bad thing.
Look, at this point I really am trying to answer your question honestly, but you keep mixing up apples and oranges! You don't have to be religious to believe that people were created, instead of evolved. I've met people who believe aliens created us... and it's not religious! (Weird, I know.)
You don't have to be religious, I agree. What's the point? Without knowing what those beliefs involve, how can I address them? I guess, if you want me to address a specific kind of creationism that I don't know of, you should explain what you mean.
But the scientific theory of evolution has NOTHING to do with modern medicine.
Oh my, you're kidding, right? I mean, you must be? Yeah, you're kidding...
If you're not kidding, I strongly suggest some googling. Or some Yahoo!-ing, whatever floats your boat. Let me just give you one link to start you off:
Of what value is evolutionary biology in medicine? « Why Evolution Is True
Belief in God = "God will heal me so don't bother with the surgery"
Belief in creationism without God = .... well, you tell me! I certainly don't know. But you're specifically tying God into the creationist idea, which is why you're coming up with these examples. Try one that ONLY deals with creationism.
I'm sorry, what is creationism without god? Who exactly is the "creator" then?
My example, although you might find it unrealistic*, deals only with rejecting evolution on the basis of the idea that the Earth is 6000 years old. Where is there god in that example?
*I would have found it equally unrealistic that someone would, in this day and age, pray to heal an infection instead of going to the doctor. But it happens. So maybe I don't understand the nuances of absurdity we're dealing with here.
I undersand what you're saying, but you don't seem to. Try an example where creationism (NOT A BELIEF IN GOD) actually is a problem within the medical realm.
But I wasn't addressing creationism. I was addressing your response which you can't seem to defend.
And here I thought you were the one dodging questions! lol.
Then why have you still not answered the question? Are you planning on doing that or should I stop wasting my time?
