Well, I suppose for some people that where there is a conflict between doctrine and common sense, it is a sin to pick common sense over doctrine. For fundamentalists, that is what faith means- trusting in God above your own common sense, even when you (or your immediate family) are in a position to suffer.

I guess this attitude is repellent to most people (including myself) which is why we have brands of Christian other than "fundamentalist." On the other hand, I don't think it is written in the Bible that "science is bad-" it definitely says "faith in God is most important," but it is easy to argue that if we weren't meant to use medicine God would never have given us brains.

Exactly - for the Fundamentalists faith is everything. Because proof denies faith, and without faith God (and Christianity as a whole) is nothing.

Yeah it doesn't say that, but realistically 2000 years ago what we call science had only just started to be devloped.

Having said that, it seems that (once again) for the fundamentalists the proof that medicine works would disproove the existance of God. However it would be extremely arrogant of me, as an atheist to say that God does not exist. He just doesn't exist to me because I don't believe in him.
