Inquiry regarding creationists

[arewethereyet]

What would even take the place of evolution? Like what else would you think was true?

There actually are people out there who are so immersed in their religious fanaticism that they actually let themselves die from disease or injury rather than take advantage of science & medicine to save their lives.

I'm for freedom of religion, but at the same time I still think that's ridiculous!

Yes, there are.  For instance, the JWs who won't take blood transfusions.

A friend escaped from the JWs but was still convinced that the blood transfusion that saved her brother's life caused him to develop hepatitis.  (Their father was not JW and approved the transfusion.)  The lifelong indoctrination still hadn't left her completely.
