Do they think it was just a coincidence that modern medicine uses animals in many of their life saving drugs and procedures? It's because we are all related in our evolutionary development.

Some Christians picked this part of the bible to believe: “The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” — Ezekiel 18:20

Others chose this part to believe:
“I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation…” — Exodus 20:5

Some Christians picked this part of the bible to believe: Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 quote Jesus as crying with a loud voice, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

Others chose this part to believe: Luke 23:46, his final words were, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.”

And yet others have chosen this part to believe: John 19:30 the last words were, “It is finished.”

Picking and choosing to cobble a piecemeal world view together seems to be a habit of the religious.
