Creationists, Do any of you have the Hepatitus C vaccine?
I was rather curious, because the theory of evolution is used extensively in forensic, legal and medical sciences.
In health care, phylogenetic analysis (studies of DNA sequences to infer their evolutionary relatedness, or genealogy) of a pathogen such as bird flu or West Nile virus can lead to vaccines and to guidelines for minimizing the disease’s transmission to and among people. A laboratory process called directed evolution that rapidly evolves proteins can improve vaccines and other useful proteins.
Among the theory of evolution’s successes are vaccines against human papillomavirus and the hepatitis C vaccines.
Also, Human papilomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the USA, 80% of all US adults are infected with it and it’s the sole cause of cervical cancer.

By having yourself vaccined from Heptatitus C or HPV, Would you be indirectly validating evolution? I mean, the modern-day vaccine wouldn’t exist without scientists knowledge of evolution?
@answer man
Evolution has absolutely everything to do with vaccines!
Can you not bother reading the article?

I honestly dont think your gonna get an intelligent answer to your question buddy. Since they do not even bother to try learn about evolution I dont think they have any idea how much it has influenced modern thinking in health care and biology.

Evolution has nothing to do with vaccines.
Point to where the changing of one species into another has anything to do with what you speak of.
and please don’t try to confuse this with adaptation.

My, what a convoluted argument. I nearly fell asleep reading it.
How positively impertinent of you to ask such a personal and intimate question. It’s no less than I would expect from you, however.
