We always appreciate feedback here at WhyDontYou blog. We get little enough of it recently, it seems, despite blogging to within an inch of our lives. So, it was gratifying to get a response to the blog post What is it about evolution and vaccination<\/a> from http:\/\/www.geocreationism.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have to admit the argument went over my head but the gist seems to be that only Christian Jews are obliged to follow Leviticus. I can’t quite work out how that explains why vaccination and evolution are counter-religious but it sort of explains why Christian fundamentalists don’t feel they have to follow every word of the Old Testament – it’s only meant for Jews, apparently.<\/p>\n

Do I have to say – if that is the case – why draw the line at Leviticus? Why insist that any of the Old Testament applies to Christians? And if the Jews were given these rules as God’s chosen people, as in the geocreationist <\/em>comment, then how come Christians are expecting to get into Heaven come the Rapture? Hasn’t God already made His mind up who He wants to take – and they’re all Jews?<\/p>\n

I tried to read the blog but my mind glazed over. (It seems to be a defence of evolution, but sees it as due to divine selection rather than natural selection, so it’s not totally anti-scientific.) But I am still doing the decent thing and giving them the credit of a link here for the effort of replying. That is meant as a lesson for all you other people who could be getting links here ……. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
