There seems to be a common theme in the religious right these days: science where it suits them, but only to the degree that it meets their needs.

Recently a couple had been trying to have kids, and when they couldn't they turned to science to help them. As a side effect of the medical (not holy) intervention they conceived six. The doctors told them that trying to have six wasn't a good idea, that there would be problems, and that they should reduce the number to increase their chances of survival. This is the same science that they turned to in the first place to conceive right? You'd think that they'd say "Yes, we want a child and a healthy one so we'll do what we have to as insurance."

But no. Now it was back to "faith". Science got you pregnant, but faith will ensure that the doctors will be wrong? Uh no. Four of the six are dead, and the remaining two are in intensive care, but they still have "faith".

If all the babies die then they'll be back to "science" again trying to conceive. Given the time and money wasted on them in the first place I hope they get a back seat to newer couples who are more willing to listen to the doctors.

You were told of the consequences thus it's no surprise that it happened. It wasn't science that let you down, it was either your "faith" or your own lack of intelligence.

Once again, Darwin proves his mettle.
