"If I go to the doctor, I am putting the doctor before God"Sadly, that's not how it works. I'd rather see scientists develop a cure for cancer than see a miraculous cure for a sick child. If God intended the holiest to survive, Darwinism would have sorted out the sinners long ago. By all means pray for miracles, but wait until all other more conventional means have been exhausted. It reminds me of a joke a Rabbi once told me on a long train journey.
A man falls off a boat into the sea. As he flounders, the boat turns around and throw him a line. He shouts "Oh Lord, Save Me". As he flounders, the boat turns around and throw him a line. He refuses to take it "The Lord will save me" he insists. Eventually the boat has to leave him. As he struggles He shouts "Oh Lord save me". At this a yatch turns up. They try and hook him with a boat hook "The lord will save me" he shouts. He pushes away the boat hook. Eventually the Yatch gives up. As he is just about to go under, he yells "Oh Lord Save Me". At this the coastguard turn up. They throw him a lifejacket, but he refuses to take it "The Lord will save me" he yells. At this he sinks under the water and disappears.
At the Pearly gates, he meets the Lord - He asks accusingly "Lord, why didn't you save me?" The Lord replied "I sent the boat back, I sent a Yatch and I sent the Coastguard". The man replied "Oh Lord, why didn't you tell me this?" God replies "Darwinism"
